For over fifteen years CAL’s nationally recognised programs have been the first choice for thousands of adult learners who aspire to lead confident and respected careers.

Experience has shown us that without exception every adult learner is unique. As an adult learner you will have unique program needs based on:

– Years in the workplace and experience in management
– Depth of experience in management and other workplace roles
– Previous qualifications, certifications and development
– Career and salary aspirations
– Work / home commitments
– Your current work requirements

Yet you will also have characteristics in common with your peers. These may include:

– A desire for workplace success and financial security
– A responsible outlook to your career; “if it’s to be it’s up to me”
– Nervousness (and excitement) about returning to study
– Wanting to feel confident in your choice of course and career direction?
– Acknowledgement of your professional accomplishments and prior learning

That’s why CAL takes the time to understand you – including your past experience and your future goals.

At last there is a new generation of management professionals who combine leadership and management skills to inspire and motivate their workforce to increase Employee Engagement and improve Productivity!

Over the last 20 years or so ‘management’ has seen little sustained change. Many organisations are still operating with an old top heavy hierarchical structure that’s designed to manage via control.

Yet, there have been radical changes in society and the world of work, particularly in the way we communicate.

There is a new generation on the rise, a generation who is not afraid to lead, motivate and inspire their workforce; who embrace the internet and social media who expect connectivity and interaction; to work differently and be treated differently. In light of this it is time for a radical change in how we manage organisations, resources and people.

Challenging Beliefs and Behaviours …

When managers challenge existing approaches and reinvent how they lead and manage, they can impact the effectiveness of people and the culture of the organisation itself. To achieve this reinvention, there must be a focus on the beliefs and behaviours that underpin how managers think they should manage and at the same time realise their leadership potential.

The first step is to challenge our own beliefs and behaviours. The second step is to challenge those of our people. This course is designed to assist you to make those necessary cultural changes in yourself and in others. When you change beliefs and behaviours, all else follows.

A word of warning – what other providers don’t want you to know…

• Many course providers offer ‘cookie cutter’ one size fits all courses based on a mass production model that does not allow for individual tailoring.
• Traditional training with a TAFE type course is a one schedule for all, rigid semester system that may not be conducive to your timeframe.
• Some employers prefer to employ students who have studied with private RTOs rather than TAFEs and other publically funded RTOs because they know you will be work ready; employers also value that there will be no need for wasting time with lengthy workplace induction programs, as a CAL course will have you hit the ground running.
• Large course providers are virtually a training supermarket. They often do not offer facilitators with specialist knowledge in course fields. You may be chatting in forums with school leavers or international students who are not on your wavelength and don’t share your level or experience or maturity.
• Beware of courses that do not have a legitimate course identifier number, or who use these expressions; ‘Like a Diploma, ‘Based on a Diploma, ‘the same as a Diploma’, or ‘a Partial course’. These courses are not worth the paper they are printed on and will not be recognised in the workforce. Check that the company or individual providing the training is a Registered Training Organisation with a TOID number. (CAL’s TOID no. is 22228).
• Ensure your course provider is one that knows the current curriculum and is up to date with changes in related regulations, codes and legislation. Content and guidelines are constantly changing and courses must be updated regularly to stay relevant to your job and the market. (eg: CAL constantly updates the Diploma course content to include for example changes to employment law, the latest theories, and other emerging management data.)[/drop_down]
