Short leadership training courses

Our industry-leading short courses focus on building the practical skills needed to excel as a leader. This training has been designed to suit emerging and experienced leaders, with content tailored to various industries and team sizes.

Depending on the course, you can learn how to:

• Communicate more effectively with individuals and teams
• Manage performance and give constructive feedback
• Navigate difficult conversations and resolve conflict
• Develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness
• Build trust, motivate others, and lead change
• Understand different leadership styles and when to apply them

Most of our short leadership training courses run for one to two days, depending on the topic and depth of content.

Some courses are delivered over a single full day or split across two half-days, making them ideal for busy professionals who want practical skills without long-term study commitments.

For example, Conflict Resolution and DISC Profiling are one-day workshops, while our Leadership Communication and EQ and Managerial Leadership courses span two days, offering deeper development for more experienced leaders.

All leadership training is designed to be time-efficient, outcome-focused, and immediately applicable in the workplace.

A short leadership course is a condensed training program designed to help team leaders build essential skills quickly. It’s ideal for professionals looking to upskill and advance their careers without committing to long-term study.

This includes new managers, supervisors, small business owners, and future leaders in other roles. This highly efficient training is also valuable for experienced leaders seeking a targeted skills refresh to help with organisational success.

Short courses focus on specific areas of leadership development, such as communication, performance management or conflict resolution.

Unlike a full Cert IV or Diploma, there’s no long-term commitment or in-depth assessments—just practical learning you can apply right away.

Some short leadership and management courses may count as recognised prior learning (RPL) toward a longer qualification, depending on the content and pathway.
