qualification (Equivalent to one A Level). It is aimed at students looking at gaining
university entry or management experience to gain a promotion or widen their job prospects.
It is particularly suited to practising team leaders seeking to move to the next level of
management. It will also provide an entry level qualification for those who have studied
Business related subjects at Level 2 or 3 and who wish to gain skills and competencies for

the workplace. Leadership and management training is essential for business growth,

rapidly changing environment. The essential attributes of being able to communicate, inspire
and lead are often lacking, which are seen crucial to achieving organisational success.
