Senior Leaders Programme (Code: C1209)

Senior Leaders in the FE sector are faced with the challenge of working in a turbulent environment, building relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders and developing their understanding of what it means to be an effective FE leader in the 21st century.

To meet those challenges, leaders must be capable of combining a host of skills and attributes as influential systems leaders. The Senior Leadership programme has been designed to meet these challenges.

To book a free place find a course that has free places remaining and book a single place. At the payments stage of the booking you will be asked to tell us which of the four criteria you meet. Once selected, click on the 'recalculate' button to reduce the cost of the booking to zero and complete the booking.

If, for whatever reason, you are unable to attend, please advise us at least two weeks before the course takes place. This will allow us to offer the free place to someone else who works in the FE sector, so they can take advantage of this offer.
