Education Leaders in Training
The Education Leaders in Training (ELiT) Programme uses blended learning techniques to introduce and develop leadership and teamwork skills.
Delegates are encouraged to actively employ learning in their environments through team quality improvement projects, affording them an opportunity to experiment with and adapt new skills and techniques.
Teaching methods include presentations, small and large group discussions and facilitated project work.

Real leadership development requires practical experience.
The ELiT is centred on a multidisciplinary team leadership project as a vehicle for your leadership learning.These projects offer an opportunity for you to work together as a leadership team, to apply your learning from the workshops, and to develop as collaborative leaders.
Leadership projects are supported by ELiT faculty and by a team mentor.
Projects represent a considerable time commitment on the programme.
They are also the main part of the programme you will reflect on having developed real skills from.
Some examples of projects from our other programmes are included as posters above and video abstracts below.
