Today’s emerging leaders need a way to cut down on the time it takes to learn from experience. Monarch Institute courses will help you do just that. They’ve been developed by entrepreneurs, business executives, and academics who’ve already been where you want to go.

Managers are needed in all sectors of the economy. Managing people and resources is a critical function of business.
Broadly, the ladder starts with junior managers -often called team leaders. They might be accountable for managing a small team’s results. There are middle-level managers that often manage both team leaders, and other staff who report directly into them. At the top of the chain, there are senior managers. They’re often strategically focused, looking at the big picture stuff. Senior managers tend to have middle-level managers reporting to them, and they may have senior staff reporting directly to them.
The Diploma of Leadership and Management at Monarch Institute is designed to give you real-world skills and strategies you can put to use straight away. This means that if you’re ready to step up, or you’ve just started in a management role, it’s the perfect intro.
This course is designed to be completed within 12-24 months.
There is no minimum timeframe to complete this course. Students who are highly motivated and well organised can complete the full course at an accelerated pace.
