Aspiring Managers Training Course
Our aspiring managers training course is changing the culture in some of the largest companies around and our trainers and authors are all specialists in their field and experienced business leaders and managers.
In-Person Training Sessions
There are three pillars to all the training we deliver (virtually and in person):
1. Ensuring all your training goals are met
2. Implementing accountability
3. Delivering up to date inclusive and enjoyable training that sticks
We deliver the one-day sessions at your workplace or a venue you book (local hotel etc), and they are usually 09:00 - 16:00 but we can start as early as 08:00
Sometimes a one-day course is just not enough so we run programs of any length to suit you and your team.
The Online Leadership and Management Training Academy
I'm often asked if team members from small businesses and organisations can join one of the 12-month programs and the answer is unfortunately no! The ones I deliver are closed sessions for specific companies.
However. I have now created an online leadership and management training academy that comes with weekly virtual (live and recorded) support from me and my team, answering any questions the learners have. It also comes with an accountability group, where we keep the learners accountable for achieving their training goals and a manager's pack so the learner's line manager can keep them accountable too. There is a little more information in the video.
The online leadership and management training academy is ideal for anyone who has been promoted without training, or for team members who are soon to be promoted, for team members who find it difficult to get together every month and if you only have a couple of team members that need training.
There are 12 modules and you or your learners work through one per month
This is an online platform that is unlike any you've seen before. It's presented by a multi-award-winning business manager/owner who is also a leadership training specialist. It holds your team members accountable for achieving the training goals and there is as much support as they need - Adrian Close

Client Feedback From an Aspiring Managers Training Program our Director of Learning DeliveredAre you looking for an aspiring managers training course for your future manager?
Regardless of where you are in the world, our program will make a difference.
Our courses and programs have been written and delivered, by our leadership and management specialist (Adrian Close), to companies of all sizes to great success. As you can see from the feedback letter on the left, Adrian was invited back to the Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education for three years on the strength of the program and continued results.
The training courses and longer programs are either held in person at your workplace or chosen venue or virtually via our Zoom account. The in person training program, which is held once per month, is usually from 09:30 - 16:30 but we can start from as early as 07:00 GMT and the virtual training program's sessions are 3 hours, twice per month - There's more information below.

A little About Us
Primarily we
are very experienced multi award-winning business managers and team leaders who
are also qualified training consultants and published authors. We deliver and write our
training programs from bloody nose experience not ivory tower philosophy. It’s
OK covering the change curve (for example) in the change management session but it doesn’t
teach you how to manage the actual change! So, we don’t use it. Instead we use tried and
tested action focused techniques that have worked for us (and many of our clients) to implement change
within our teams and businesses (we do use the change curve in our working within a changing environment session).
We also get so frustrated (and I’m sure you do too) with one day training courses and even some longer programs that don’t promote action. The tutor turns up, delivers a “presentation”, covers some interesting information and at the end leaves. The team have had a great day and leave happy with the day, but nothing happens, there’s no action = Poor return of investment
Before any training is delivered a lot of time is spent on ensuring the courses or bitesize sessions are right for you. We start with the end in mind and build all of your goals and core values into the heart of it so you are able to see the results instantly which makes for a great return on your investment.
We specialise in management, leadership, coaching and HR courses and have done for many years - Please don't hesitate to contact one of the team to discuss your training goals
A Leadership and Management Training Program our Leadership Trainer Delivered in the North WestThe Aspiring Managers Training Course Breakdown
The First-Time Manager’s Growth Academy where new and aspiring managers develop their knowledge and skills in a safe environmentOne day training courses
We deliver several one day courses which can either be a stand alone one day event or you can choose the ones that are most relevant to you to form a program - here's our list of one day courses - The full day courses can be broken up into two 3 hour sessions, delivered virtually if you prefer.
In-person training program
The 12 Month Action Focused Leadership and Management program is ideal for aspiring managers (Video below). The first session is all about becoming a first time manager and the rest of the program develops these skills as well as leadership, time management, coaching skills, HR skills and so much more.
Each session is usually from 09:30 - 16:30 and holds the leaners accountable for implementing the learning steps every month. Our clients have had some amazing results
Virtual program
The virtual program is the same as the above just delivered virtually. Each session is 3 hours long (15 mins break in the middle). We'll deliver the sessions when it is beneficial for you, we can start from 07:00 GMT and you can either have the two sessions in the same day, consecutive days or once a fortnight (for example). It's a great way for a hybrid team to learn together and it is very action focused, very inclusive and very interactive
Our Aspiring Managers Mastery Program
The mastery program starts with a 5 day challenge for your aspiring managers to see if they are right for management - we run this challenge a few times a year but if you have a large number of aspiring managers we can offer you a bespoke one - I think we are the only training provider to offer this service. The beauty of the five days is that each day starts with a very short video (usually 3 - 4 minutes long) which explains the daily challenges. This video is available from 6am GMT, comes with an activity sheet and notes - each of the daily tasks take about 30 minutes to complete. We then discuss your team members findings/results in a fun virtual live session at 19:30 (GMT) - Monday to Friday - which is where a lot of learning and ah-ha moments happen - If a team member can't make a live it is recorded and posted in the group so no-one misses out or team members in different time zones can also take part. These PM session really do test your aspiring managers commitment.
By the end of the week we always have a few that drop out which is great because they realise that management really is not for them and it leaves us with a more motivated group to work with. Once everyone is happy they progress to the 12 month mastery. This consists of 12 modules to work through. Modules consist of pre-recorded training videos, live training sessions, activities, small team group work sessions, worksheets and ask me anything/hot seat sessions - it's a fantastic program that you won't find anywhere else Contact our Director of Training Adrian Close to discuss it further.
