Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Leading Is A Learned Thing

Communication, team building and how to think a problem through.

The Awkward Parts Too

Discipline, grievances and complaints get their own topics.

Numbers Come With The Job

Budgets, forecasting and reading a financial statement.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Most team leaders come up from the floor. What changes is the paperwork and the people questions.

Team Leader

Hold a small group to the day's work.

Operations Supervisor

Keep output steady across a shift.

People & Culture Coordinator

Support hiring, onboarding and records.

Training Supervisor

Bring new staff up to standard.

Office Manager

Run the place and the people in it.

Workplace Coach

Work one to one on performance.

Administration Supervisor

Lead an admin team and its systems.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every employer is different. Some roles ask for experience or further study.

About 300 hours of study, with access for a year.

Are there exams?

None, ever. You work through the modules at your pace.

Yes. Recruitment, training, discipline and grievances all appear.

How is this different to the business course?

This one drops computing and marketing, and goes deeper on people.
