If you are ex-military and want to pursue a Cert IV in Leadership and Management then it’s important to find an institute that caters to your specific needs. Here are some pointers to keep in mind when choosing a school or training provider.
1. Look for an institute which caters to former military personnel
You can’t go wrong with a school whose founders are ex-serving military and from the New Zealand and Australian Defence Forces. They understand where you’re coming from and can cater to your unique requirements. The goal of such institutes is to help men and women to transition into civilian society smoothly through further education.
The skills you learned during military service are still very useful. However, many civilian employers don’t recognise or understand them. Earning a Cert 4 in Leadership and Management from a school that cater specifically to ex-military ensures that your valuable skills are effectively transferred into a nationally accredited qualification. Such an institute may give you a discount of as much as 25% on all their courses.
2. Check what’s covered by their Cert 4 in Leadership and Management program.
Some of the best courses will allow you to gain experience and knowledge in areas including:
• How to communicate effectively as a leader
• How to manage workplace relationships
• How to implement operational plans
• Financial activity reporting
• Team effectiveness management
• Innovation and team building
• How to lead a diverse workforce
3. Ask about what career opportunities and further study outcomes the qualification can provide.
After completing a Cert 4 in Leadership and Management, you should be able to explore a career as a supervisor, leading hand, team leader, line manager, production supervisor, etc. Some of the best institutes can provide job counselling and assist you in establishing in furthering a civilian career.
