Raising the Bar in Executive Education!


In Professional Development Raises the Bar in Executive Education

We are excited to embark on our new trail-blazing venture to set industry standards within the executive education sector.

We recognised a challenge in the field which currently has no barriers to entry nor offers any quality assurances. To address the issue, we’ve teamed up with the University of Chester to launch the Postgraduate Certificate in Executive Education (PGCEE), which is the first of its kind in the UK.

Our pioneering qualification will define the high standards expected of coaches, tutors and trainers who deliver professional development education to senior executives. It aims to improve training standards across the board as well as ensuring newcomers to the sector are well-equipped to deliver positive and long-lasting learning outcomes.

The programme and qualification will help to professionalise the sector and provide a quality assurance for companies and organisations which offer learning and development for their staff.

Director, David Hall said, “There’s currently nothing like this on the market. Anyone can become a tutor or trainer in executive education without having to fulfil any professional criteria. There is little scope for tutors and trainers to differentiate themselves. We have recognised this as a problem and we’re acting on behalf of the industry to do something about it. Our new PGCEE will give trainers a competitive edge, set an industry standard for the first time and drive up quality in the provision of professional training and development programmes. It will enable tutors and trainers to be formally recognised as leaders in their field, whilst also providing quality assurances for those responsible for learning and development in an organisation”.

The programme and qualification are especially relevant given the toll which the pandemic is having on the economy. With an increasing number of redundancies due to the impact of Covid-19, many people with corporate experience will be looking to carve out new careers in executive education.

Train with a name you can trust

Let us help you realise your potential through quality training and coaching courses.

 

Our new qualification will provide a head start by helping them to distinguish themselves from the competition. The programme will also benefit organisations looking to improve the skills of their remaining learning and development staff where gaps now exist because of furloughed employees and redundancies. Giving them the assurance that the training their employees are providing is of the highest quality and is tailored to have the maximum impact.

Our associate tutor Victoria Smith-Collins moved into training following a background in human resources in the banking sector and she commented, “This kind of programme is essential not only for new tutors but also for existing ones to understand and keep abreast with the tools, techniques and methodologies that drive effective learning within the executive education space.

It will allow tutors to confidently plan and structure their programmes, enabling them to gain confidence in, or just fine-tune, their delivery skills. More than anything, it opens opportunity for collaboration and networking, and working at pioneering industry standards.”

The course, which is accredited by the University of Chester, will comprise a five-day programme on Zoom and two assignments, delivered by our associate director of programmes, Alex Firmin.

The PGCEE course will involve interactive tutor-led sessions as well as mock teaching sessions so delegates can gain professional practice and feedback. The curriculum will cover topics such as educational theory, innovation in teaching, psychology in education and engaging the executive audience.
