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.
