How do I get started?
Getting started is easy!
There are no formal entry requirements but participants will normally be practising or aspiring first line managers with the opportunity to meet the assessment demands and have a background that will enable them to benefit from the programme.
In practice this usually means that you will need experience from a current or previous position which you can discuss within written assessments.
It would also be of benefit if students are able to communicate clearly and effectively in writing; in particular those written formats commonly seen in a business context, for example business reports or letters.
