Team Leader Courses & Training

Our one-day team leader training course provides an in-depth exploration of the management skills you’ll need to be a successful team leader.

It is designed for people who want:

1. To learn how to be an effective team leader..
2. To manage people who may be unmotivated or troublesome.
3. Have a clear framework within which to develop their skills.

This comprehensive course covers all the management skills you’ll need to become a great team leader. 

As a two-day course, it allows time for plenty of discussion and practice of the skills, particularly communication skills, that it covers.

This course is not offered as a public course. It is only available as a private course to individuals and teams.

Our courses can run at your offices, at one of our training centres in London and Guildford or online in a virtual classroom.

Our online team leader courses can be run using either Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

Our online training is designed to re-create the classroom training experience as closely as possible.

It is a live training session using Zoom or Microsoft Teams as a virtual classroom. Your trainer is there throughout.

Please note that we never mix remote and in-person courses. We don’t believe it gives a very good experience for the people not in the room.

Our focus is on helping you to become a more effective and assertive team leader by the end of your course.

Our courses combine traditional teaching to explain new concepts and tools, with hands-on exercises.

The exercises ensure that you get plenty of time to try out what you have just been taught and ask questions if there is anything you’re unsure of.

Yes. We provide all attendees on our course with certificates.

Please come wearing whatever you are most comfortable in, we do not have a dress code for our training courses.

Most people come wearing casual clothes.

Our London training centre is centrally located in the City of London.

It is a 3-minute walk from both Blackfriars tube station and Thameslink station.
