ALM + ACM

Throughout my time on the course, I feel I was invested in as a whole person; the result is I completed the course with not only a qualification, but a clear idea as to what I wanted to achieve with my career and how I was going to do it.

I chose to study for my ILM qualification through the Academy of Leadership and Management due to their flexible study options and strong reputation in the industry. I was delighted with the support I received, through one-to-one calls with my coach / supervisor, email l support, and the online forum. All communication with the Academy of Leadership and Management was efficient, professional and helpful, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I found ALM’S approach impressive. The course materials, supervision and constructive feedback were of a high quality and stimulated me to do my best. I particularly appreciated their skilful blend of friendly responsiveness and flexibility with their rigour and professionalism.

The course materials are excellent as is the quality of tutoring and coaching. I know I grew and developed as a coach as a consequence of this unique learning experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of this qualification. Since completing the programme I have been able to add coaching and mentoring to my commercial offer and have supported some fantastic individuals in some inspiring organisations in both the private and third sectors. The programme is supported by 1:1 coaching and support which was timely and at times pastoral and educational. The support makes distance learning less distant….a great programme.

The ALM process of learning offers a very balanced approach between academic research and the art of actual coaching and mentoring. The use of an external ALM coach has been invaluable to the learning process. Thanks to the ALM support I have contributed more effectively to my team and organisation, worked more easily and productively with others (boss, direct reports, and peers) and improved my communication skills.

After completing the course not only do I feel more confident in my decision making but I am able to back up what I instinctively know is the right choice with well thought through arguments and academic understanding.

The planning and organisation of the course was very detailed. Very well structured to support my personal development.

The Academy of Leadership and Management were the springboard needed to boost my perceived stagnating career. The confidence and insight bestowed on me through their professional mentoring coupled with the solid course content, relevant to my work, has had an immediate and significant positive effect on my career.

I really enjoyed my course and have learnt a lot from the experience. I acquired new knowledge, for sure, but I have also become more reflective as a manager and have developed many useful skills. I have grown a lot as a leader, manager and person. The course also enabled me to pursue a career promotion successfully and I can definitely see the benefits of undertaking the qualification in my new role.

Because the assignments were very practical and analysed my immediate work situations, I was able to apply theory into practice straight away and implement recommendations and improvements, which had a great impact on my results at work and my confidence in my own abilities.

I received excellent support from the tutor who was challenging my way of thinking in the right way to motivate me and keep me on my toes. The tutorials were really enjoyable and super helpful so I was always looking forward to them. I received very useful and constructive feedback and my coach also coached me through some important professional decisions.

I would definitely recommend studying with the Academy of Leadership and Management.

The blended learning of online resources and monthly skype conversations has proven to more flexible and possibly even better than a classroom. Great course, great team – highly recommended to anyone.

The course provided extensive insights into the full range of leadership attributes, and helped establish a real and practical sense of how to further my career dynamically and positively.

Undertaking a distance learning qualification in Leadership and Management meant I could fit my full time job around some targeted CPD. The programme was flexible with regards to timings, but a clear set of deadlines meant I could plan for the submissions around my work schedule.

The course itself has been transformational for me and has enabled me to work to a higher potential. The knowledge and understanding of strategy has been of particular benefit and has enabled me to identify exciting opportunities for our organisation and given me the skills to maximise those opportunities. It has also helped me identify areas that myself, my team and the organisation as a whole can develop to achieve greater success.

In response to the CoachingCraft CPD sessions, we frequently receive plaudits from participants, they are experienced as ‘engaging’, ‘challenging’, ‘useful’, ‘practical’ and ‘time well spent’.

PREMIER ADVISER

I especially liked the fact that you could meet with other business advisers that worked not only in different geographical areas, but also different support areas. Overall, I am without a doubt a better business adviser forhaving done the course.

Since achieving the Diploma I have gained a promotion. The knowledge I gained during the course has given me the skill sets and confidence to carry out these new duties to high standard.

I found the course made me think outside the box when looking for solutions for my clients, helped me become more confident in offering advice and encouraged me to think about wider impacts.

The course has influenced my client interactions, enabling me to build stronger relationships and really understand clients’ goals and aspirations. It is a fantastic learning experience honing in on the skills I bring as an adviser.

I found the programme to be pitched at just the right level for timing and content – ideal as it’s a long time since I had studied! As a business adviser, participating in the programme has taught me many skills. Most notably, I believe that I have developed as a professional and now better understand my role within the wider economic development strategy for Scotland.
