Management Programmes
"It’s vital we continue to invest in our training and development to equip our people with the skills, knowledge and networks they need to stay ahead.”
Declaration on Government Reform, published by the Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretary, June 2021
Depending on where you work within the Civil Service, your specific managerial responsibilities may vary. However, the knowledge, skills and networks you need will be the same, whatever your role. You’re expected to provide direction, guidance, goals and feedback. To help you achieve this – and to further develop management capability across the Civil Service – we are refreshing the Management programmes. Designed in consultation and collaboration with government organisations, they align with the new educational standards, and include new content to match the change in ways of working, an enhanced online learning platform and an interactive workbook that promotes social learning.
Register your interest if you'd like more information, and we will keep you up to date as more of the programme launches.
Foundation Programme
The Foundation programme helps new managers, of any grade, to develop the essential leadership and management skills that they require as they embark on their managerial career. Previously, the New Manager Programme was the go-to learning for first time managers. The Management: Foundation Programme has been developed in line with the new educational standards as part of the focus on training, and is the Leadership College's recommended learning for new managers. It comprises four modules – each featuring real-life, relatable Civil Service leadership scenarios – and takes four months to complete. The modules focus on strategy and decision making; team working; performance and change; and communication. The skills and knowledge acquired during each module are tested via a series of workbook activities to be completed during the programme. An online knowledge check must also be passed at the end of each module. Learners remain in the same cohort of learners throughout the duration of the programme. This creates a strong peer network through which learners can share knowledge and support one another, both during and after the programme.

Practitioner Programme
|
In a time of constant change, our leaders and managers play a key role in helping the Civil Service to meet the government’s vision for reform and the challenges that lay ahead. The Practitioner programme will equip you with the skills, knowledge and networks you need. Previously, the Experienced Manager Programme was the ideal learning for managers with more than 12 months of management experience. The Management: Practitioner Programme has been developed in line with the new educational standards as part of the focus on training, and is the Leadership College's recommended learning for experienced managers. The programme consists of three modules, each lasting approximately six weeks and a fourth module which includes your continued learning post programme. Each module features a variety of training activities, all of which have been designed to cover the skills and knowledge you need to effectively perform your role, and to support the creation and expansion of your network.
