Course content

Birkman personality profile

Before attending day 1, participants will complete an online assessment tool called the Birkman Method. This is an in-depth personal assessment. The results will form part of the self-awareness and management process through the course.

Day 1

The Birkman assessment is explored through interactive discussion activities. A series of exercises are used to demonstrate and allow practise in applying time management tools.

Day 2

The second half of the day has an extended experiential exercise so that new tools can be applied in a personal management exercise. There is space for self-reflection and 1:1 feedback to enhance self-awareness.

ILM Level 3 qualification in Leadership and Management

This module is one of eight, that form our ILM Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management. 

The qualifications are designed for people who have leadership and management responsibilities but limited formal training. 

Delivered in English, or Arabic, participants can receive either a L3 Certificate or L3 Award according to the number of credits earned. 

The module sessions are highly interactive and based around experiential activities. We believe it’s important to have more than the minimum required contact time so there is room for discussion, activities and to apply the learning to real life situations.

The course is a blend of experiential activities, bite-sized teaching and discussionbased activities. We ensure a rich mixture of activities to engage all learning preferences. 

This course is around 40% experiential activities. 

This module earns credits which can be applied towards the L3 Award and L3 Certificate in Leadership and Management.  

Additionally, each participant completing the module will receive a Red Rock International certificate. 

This course is for first time leaders, those about to move into leadership, or for more established leaders who want to revisit fundamentals of leadership.  

Assessment is through a 1 hour guided conversation with the assessor. This avoids lengthy assignment writing, while still checking that the participant has adequate understanding.

The professional conversation can be face to face, or via video call. The assessor follows a structured sequence of questions and takes notes on the participant’s responses. The assessor is there to make it comfortable for the learner to share their understanding and achieve the best possible result.

Participants will be given assignment instructions during the Training sessions and encouraged to prepare for the professional conversation session by completing worksheets and undertaking any required workplace application activities/observations.

Where the assessor judges that insufficient evidence was collected for a pass, they will ask subsequent questions at an additional professional conversation meeting.
