How the learning commitment is calculated

Known structured commitment: approx. 20 hours. This combines approximately 16 hours of core PVL engagement with 2 hours of induction/orientation and 1 live interactive tutorials of 2 hours each.

IOWL's published course hours represent structured study, comprehension, absorption, reflective activity and application across the full learning journey. Live tutorials reinforce, test, discuss and apply Smartboard learning completed in advance. They do not teach or repeat the curriculum.

Assessment familiarisation, preparation and the assessment sitting itself are also additional.

What you will study

The curriculum moves from principle to practice, helping learners connect values, behaviour, influence and responsibility through structured online learning, reflection and tutorial engagement.

Module 1

The Value of Leadership

This module introduces leadership as a practical matter of behaviour, influence and responsibility. Learners consider why leadership matters beyond formal position, how everyday conduct affects others, and why calibre must be developed alongside capability and competency.

Module 2

Giving Leadership a Value

This module helps learners move from seeing leadership as a role to understanding it as something shaped by values. It explores how personal decisions, priorities and behaviour give leadership its value and how learners can begin to recognise the standards they bring to others.

Module 3

The Positive Value Leadership Framework

This module introduces the Positive Value Leadership framework and the idea that leadership should be grounded in validated positive values rather than vague intentions. Learners begin to understand how the PVL Exemplars provide a structure for responsible conduct, judgement and influence.

Module 4

The Value of You

This module brings the learning back to the individual. Learners reflect on their own value, choices and conduct, considering how self-awareness, responsibility and personal consistency can support stronger behaviour in study, work and wider life.

IOWL Positive Value Leadership courses are delivered online as a structured, personal journey of self-propelled learning, reflection and transformation. The Smartboard provides the curriculum, guided learning, reflective activities and coursework that learners are expected to study, consider and apply to their own context.


Live, interactive virtual tutorials then bring that independent learning to life. They are designed for conversation, questioning, experience, challenge, reflection and application rather than for repeating the curriculum as a lecture.


Where the pathway includes scheduled live tutorials, learners use them to explore key ideas, discuss experiences, ask questions, test understanding and reflect with the live session lead and other learners. The emphasis is participation and application rather than passive attendance.


Positive Value Leadership is designed as a transformative developmental journey. Transformation develops over time through honest reflection, purposeful action and the practical application of learning across the full course experience.


Before and during the course, learners receive induction, clear instructions, important dates, advance guidance and reminders. Each learner is then expected to familiarise themselves with the platform, follow the instructions provided, manage their own progress and navigate to the appropriate learning activities and live events.


This approach reflects the principle of “Integrous Agency” at the heart of Positive Value Leadership: taking personal responsibility for one’s own development, acting purposefully and approaching the course with a “can-do” attitude and, ideally, an “it’s done” attitude.
