Leadership and Management – Level 5 (IRL) Award – Tutor Delivered
Develop Your Leadership & Management Skills
Ready to become a more confident and effective leader?
Whether you’re already managing people, have recently moved into a leadership role or are preparing to take the next step in your career, developing effective leadership and management skills can make a significant difference to your professional success.
Our Level 5 (IRL) Award in Leadership and Management is a tutor-delivered programme designed to help participants develop practical leadership skills while gaining a recognised qualification.
The programme covers two important areas of leadership and personal development:
- Unit 407 – Leadership Skills
- Unit 401 – Developing Yourself and Others
Build the Skills to Lead More Effectively
Good leadership isn’t simply about having responsibility for other people.
It’s about being able to communicate effectively, motivate others, make informed decisions, develop your team and continually improve your own performance as a leader.
Through the two units, you’ll develop your understanding of the skills and behaviours required to lead effectively and support the development of others.
Unit 407 – Leadership Skills
This unit focuses on developing the knowledge and skills required to become a more effective leader.
You’ll explore areas such as leadership approaches, effective communication, motivating others and the practical skills needed to lead people successfully.
The aim is to help you become more confident in your ability to lead, influence and achieve results through others.
Unit 401 – Developing Yourself and Others
Effective leaders understand that leadership development starts with themselves.
This unit focuses on how you can review and improve your own performance while also helping others to develop their skills and capabilities.
You’ll consider how to:
- Identify your own development needs
- Improve your personal effectiveness
- Support the development of colleagues and team members
- Encourage learning and development
- Help others achieve their potential
- Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement
A Practical Qualification for Today’s Managers & Leaders
This isn’t simply about learning management theory.
The programme is designed to help you connect the learning to your own workplace and your own experience of leading and developing others.
You’ll have the opportunity to discuss issues with an experienced tutor, ask questions and consider how the leadership concepts covered can be applied in real working situations.
Who Is This Programme For?
The Level 5 Award is particularly suitable for:
- Existing managers and supervisors
- Team leaders
- Aspiring managers
- Professionals preparing for their first management role
- Managers who want to strengthen their leadership skills
- Individuals responsible for developing others
- Anyone looking to progress their management career
Learn One Evening a Week
The programme runs for one evening per week over four weeks.
This flexible format makes it easier to fit professional development around your existing work and personal commitments.
Rather than trying to absorb everything in one intensive day, the four-week structure gives you the opportunity to learn, reflect and consider how you can apply your new knowledge between sessions.
Live Online – Tutor Delivered
The course is delivered live online, in real time, by an experienced tutor.
You can interact directly with the tutor, ask questions and discuss how the course content applies to your own workplace.
There is no need to travel or install any special software or app. All you need is a good internet connection.
Approximately 15 minutes before each session, we email you a link. Simply click the link to join.
You can therefore participate from home or your workplace while still benefiting from a fully interactive, tutor-led learning experience.
