Leadership and Management HTQ (Online)

UCAS code: LM10

Here's what Activate Learning says about its Leadership and Management HTQ (Online) course.

The HND in Leadership and Management is also a higher technical qualification that helps you develop as a professional, self-reflecting individual, able to meet the demands of employers in the business sector and adapt to a constantly changing world.

The programme provides you with the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills and behaviours aligned to the Occupational Standard (OS) for Operations or Departmental Manager. The units will prepare you to enter employment or progress your career with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision-making, and support students to aspire to future management roles.

The subjects covered will also prepare you to progress to Level 6 higher education study, including higher apprenticeships and professional body qualifications. You will be able to develop and apply your own ideas to your studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of business situations. By the end of the programme, you will have a sound understanding of the principles of leadership and management and will know how to apply those principles more widely in the business world.

The HND in Leadership and Management is a modular programme delivered fully online by our teachers through our Virtual Learning Environment. When you study with Activate Learning, you will belong to a group of students studying and have regular one to ones, group interactions and taught sessions with a team of highly qualified and experienced teachers with business experience.

We understand the unique needs of students studying online; we appreciate that they may be juggling work, family, and other commitments, and at Activate Learning we are experienced in supporting people in those positions.
