The qualification aims to give participants an opportunity to develop the core competences needed by today’s team leaders. Participants take three mandatory units (which look at managing personal development, working relationships with colleagues and communicating information and knowledge) plus two optional units. The wide choice of optional units gives a high level of flexibility, allowing the qualification to be tailored to meet the varying needs of participants and employers across all employment sectors.
