Modules

This qualification consists of two core leadership modules, each supported by a flexible assessment approach to suit your learning styles.

Unit 308: Understanding Leadership
Unit 334: Understanding and developing relationships in the workplace

Assessment

For each module you will complete either a written assignment, an oral or digital presentation or oral question and answer assessment.
