How the Leadership Suite works

  • Each of these courses may be taken alone or as part of a longer award lasting over 2 years
  • For delegates undertaking the longer award, the course entitled ‘What is Leadership?’ is a pre-requisite for entrance to additional courses
  • Each course may be taken concurrently with another course provided the delegate is able to commit the time to two action research projects simultaneously.
  • All delegates must have access to a school setting to conduct the action research project required for assessment purposes

There are three levels of achievement:

BRONZE AWARD: ‘What is Leadership?’ + 1 Optional Module

SILVER AWARD: ‘What is Leadership?’ + 2 Optional Modules

GOLD AWARD: ‘What is Leadership?’ + 4 Optional Modules
