We’ve made a couple of big updates to our website this month. Last week we added a lot more detail to our Training page, detailing all of the CMI accredited Leadership and Management courses that we run with pricing and information (more on that in next week’s blog) and this week we’ve given the Short Courses page a spruce up so it’s easier to use, with all of the courses listed by type on one page so you can browse through without having to search or go to a new page. This way you can see everything we have on offer and perhaps find something that you didn’t know that we do or didn’t know that you were looking for!

At the moment we have 65 short CPD courses available, all priced at £30 which can be taken online, at your leisure in the comfort of your own home – and you can enrol and start immediately!

These courses are perfect if you want to refresh your skills or add to your CV, and they are also a good way to try something and get a feel for it before you invest further. Which is why we’ve got 2 of our favourite Business Leadership and Management Courses on offer this month. So that if you’re thinking of taking one of our CMI leadership courses, you can try a short course first and see if it is right for you.

Leading and Motivating a Team

Effective leadership should always be at the heart of a successful workplace and our Leading and Motivating a Team short CPD course is a brilliant introduction to management and leadership skills. We know from personal experience what it is like to be promoted for your ‘people skills’ without the training to back it up! So this course teaches you how to communicate effectively, how to motivate teams and individuals and develop your team into something you can be proud of. As the CMI call it, ‘transforming accidental managers into conscious leaders!’

Understanding Leadership

According to our course partners, the Skills Network, an estimated 8 out of 10 employees leave their job because they feel unhappy with their prospects. This course will help give you the confidence to show that you have what it takes to get promoted to lead a team. Whether you are an individual looking for a leadership course to benefit your career, or an employer looking for leadership training for staff, our Understanding Leadership CPD certified course is an ideal way to broaden your skillset. The course covers a range of subjects including:

  • Different types and styles of leadership
  • Their effects on individual and group behaviour
  • How to develop an effective leadership style, and loads more

If you enjoy these courses and feel like they are setting you on the right path towards becoming a better manager or having the potential to become a leader then you can progress by investing in one of our CMI accredited leadership courses, available as an Award, Certificate or Diploma and we will talk about these in more depth on next week’s blog.
