Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which solution is right for my team or for me?
The best solution depends on your goals, the experience level of the participants, and the desired outcome.
- Choose the Team Leadership Apprenticeship if you're looking for a formal, long-term qualification for a new manager.
- Choose Transition to Management for a quick, foundational course to get new managers up and running.
- Choose Developing High Performing Teams for experienced managers who need advanced skills to lead a mature team.
- Choose a workshop like Building Effective Teams or Know Yourself for a quick, impactful session on specific topics like team dynamics or self-awareness.
- Choose the Courses for Customer Service Development to focus on non-management staff who interact with customers.
Can these solutions be delivered in-house or are they open courses?
Most of our solutions can be delivered in-house for a group of your employees. We can also run open courses for individuals or small teams to attend. The workshops, in particular, are highly effective as in-house sessions for intact teams.
What is the main difference between the ILM Apprenticeship and your other courses? A: The key difference is the formal qualification and funding.
The ILM Level 3 Apprenticeship is a 12-15 month government-funded programme that provides a nationally recognised qualification. Our other solutions are shorter, non-accredited courses focused on specific skills development.
What are the eligibility requirements for the ILM Apprenticeship?
Participants must be in a job role that allows them to apply the learning, not be in full-time education, and live in England. The apprenticeship can be funded by the Apprenticeship Levy for eligible companies.
How do the workshops differ from the longer courses?
Our workshops, such as Building Effective Teams and Know Yourself, are short, intensive sessions (typically a half-day to a full day) designed to address a specific topic. Our longer courses, like Transition to Management, are more comprehensive and spaced out over several weeks to allow participants time to practice and embed new skills.
Can we combine different solutions?
Yes, absolutely. We often recommend a blended approach. For example, a new manager could take the Transition to Management course and then their team could complete the Know Yourself Workshop to improve team dynamics. We can work with you to create a customised learning journey.
Are psychometric assessments included in all programmes?
Psychometric assessments are a core component of our Developing High Performing Teams and Know Yourself Workshop. We also use them in our Courses for Customer Service Development to help representatives better understand customer behaviour. They may be included in other programmes on a bespoke basis.
