Not sure where to start?
This depends on your managers experience, but we recommend that all managers do key process learning (Core) in their first month with you, with occasional refreshers for all managers.
Following this, managers typically take part in live sessions covering essential management topics and skills. For experienced managers and leaders, or those you want to invest in further, consider the Advanced programme.
Core
Create fundamental knowledge of company policies, procedures and responsibilities, utilising flexible delivery methods to create a solid foundation for effective people management.
Advanced
Create shifts in thinking, behaviour and performance with practical, hands-on and flexible learning experiences designed to get delegates thinking and push them out of their comfort zone.
Core
All managers
It’s crucial managers understand your policies, procedures, and their responsibilities when managing people. Core is designed to make that happen.
Curious how this could work for your team? Our key process digital learning is great place to start. Each course begins with thought-provoking questions, builds knowledge through targeted content and finishes by linking to your policy for further reference. Take a look at this short demo.
Once managers understand key policies and laws, it’s time build the confidence and practical skills needed for effective management. Live sessions are a great way to do this, but this is your programme and you have complete flexibility, so whether it’s live, digital, coaching or a blended approach, we’ll work with you to find the perfect solution.

Choose your method/s of delivery
Choose a single method or combine multiple delivery options for a blended learning approach. We offer flexible support to help you achieve your desired learning outcomes.
Live sessions
Live sessions can be delivered online or face-to-face to create learning opportunities for managers you are ready to invest in, to build out essential knowledge and skills.
Digital learning
All of our programmes allow you to combine self-paced digital learning with real-world practice in live sessions. Digital learning can be a great way to introduce key concepts, knowledge and ideas.
Games
Curious about our games? Our short digital games help learners to retain and embed knowledge. The fun, competition element often serves to bring a cohort of learners together outside the formal training environment.
Coaching
Incorporating coaching into the development of your managers’ knowledge and skills can boost ROI by holding managers accountable for applying what they’ve learned and also continuously building their confidence and understanding. Learn more about our coaching approach.

Management and leadership development FAQs
Yes, you have full flexibility over the content. Management and leadership topics complement each other and can create comprehensive learning experience. We can discuss learning objectives with you and blend the topics where needed.
Recent studies have shown that employees using a blended learning approach retain 25-30% more material, with 70% of employees saying they prefer a blended approach. However, every organisation is unique so whether you’d like a blended approach, digital only or live only we can work with you to create the perfect solution.
All our programmes are designed to be flexible and to work around the needs of your business. We can deliver monthly, fortnightly or weekly sessions as well as compressed programmes where training can be delivered every day over a shorter period of time. You can choose to add in digital learning to cover some of topics in between sessions which can speed up learning.
You can choose face-to-face or live online sessions, with or without digital learning and games, or a mix of everything! It may be that some teams in your business can easily gather for face-to-face sessions but other departments or teams are spread out across the country, or world, so live-online sessions would be the best option.
Yes, accessibility is part of what we do. We can tailor our programmes, and use audio and visual aids, to make them accessible to all. This includes those who are neurodiverse (dyslexic, ADHD, autistic etc) or have specific hearing, sight, or language requirements.
