Business and leadership

Recognised for our business-facing ethos, we offer a diverse range of short courses and CPD opportunities in business and management. Designed to empower professionals, our courses provide opportunities to expand knowledge, improve workplace effectiveness, and in some instances, achieve our Business School CPD certification or progress towards professional qualifications.

Whether you opt for a statistics short course delivered by our Statistical Services and Consultancy Unit, dive into our CPD-accredited virtual courses, or apply for our Help to Grow: Management course, there are plenty of options awaiting to hone your skills in pivotal business areas. Areas include business essentials, small business development, people management, executive leadership, personal effectiveness, coaching and mentoring, and more.

We also offer qualifications to help develop leadership skills. Our CMI Level 5 certificate in Professional Coaching Practice empowers leaders to develop coaching skills that foster independent thinkers and learners. Using active learning techniques, participants explore and practice real-life coaching principles and earn a level 5 qualification that supports their development as a leadership professional.

While some courses can be tailored to meet your organisation's needs, others aid in formulating a tailored growth action plan for your business where you'll gain access to a supportive peer network for sharing practical challenges and ideas, along with personalised guidance from a business mentor to help apply your new-found knowledge.
