Develop your leaders

Great leaders will inspire your teams to do their best work and navigate your company through any challenge.

Brain eBox believes that your company’s leadership team is one of its greatest assets. When your leaders are equipped with the skills they need to drive the performance of their teams, your company gains an edge over its competitors.

It is important that your leadership development strategy:

  • Equips your current leaders with the skills they need to meet the demands of their role
  • Creates a pipeline of future leaders who are ready to step into leadership, and
  • Builds the capability of your leaders in new and emerging skill areas in your industry

We can help you to achieve this through the implementation of accredited leadership training.

What our clients say about working with us?

Natalie Stewart | Learning and Development Manager
Flash Group

Why did your company decide to implement the Accredited Programmes / Learnership?

At Flash, we look for programmes that create impact within our organisation. We wanted to implement the Generic Management 5 Learnership for our employees to support them in growing into leadership roles while at the same time gaining a qualification through it. Brain eBox has worked with us to create a programme that gives a sense of a bespoke programme whilst still fulfilling all the criteria of a Learnership.

What have been the benefits your company has experienced from the programme?

Many of the staff who have been through this programme have found that the tools they learn equip them to be better managers and leaders. We have found a high rate of promotions and cross departmental movement for those that have participated in the programme. We have found that hiring managers tend to favour individuals who have been through this programme as they come in with more understanding and are better equipped to fulfil the new role.

What has it been like working with Brain eBox on this programme?

Sheree and her team are nothing short of amazing. They are efficient and supportive. We never have an issue in getting documentation and we always get thorough feedback and reports. Working with Sheree goes beyond the normal administrative tick-box list. They create a personal touch and deeply care about each and every student and their journey. We have had a very high success rate with all our students that go through this programme. We love working with Brain eBox and will continue to do so in the future.

Our Process

  • 1

     

    Application and Onboarding Process

    We encourage our clients to set-up an application process for employees to follow to be awarded a seat on the programme.

    In instances where our clients wish to nominate employees for the programme, we encourage our clients to ensure the employee understands why they have been nominated for the programme… and the commitment required, before they decide whether to accept the seat or not.

  • 2

     

    Induction Process

    We complete an induction process with the group of leaders before we commence the programme. In this one-day information session, we cover the strategic purpose of the programme, how it works as well as the commitment required. Leaders receive all the information they need including their training schedule and access to our online classroom.

    We spend time with the leaders to understand why they are on the programme, and what they wish to gain from the experience. We also answer any questions which they may have.

    Delivery of Modules

    During each month of programme delivery, the following process is followed:

    • Pre-work: On the 1st of the month, the module for the month is unlocked on the online classroom. Leaders have access to all of the module resources and are encouraged to explore the online classroom as part of their pre-work for the session.

    • Scheduled Training Session: The scheduled training session is held. This is facilitator-led, and can be completed in-person or virtually. During this time together, the facilitator walks the leaders through the content to help them build their knowledge and they have lots of discussions to link the content to the practical environment. During the session, the formative assessment is completed.
    • Assessment Deadlines: Leaders are provided with deadlines to submit their Formative and Summative Assessments. Practical assignments such as role-plays and presentations are scheduled into the calendar for the month. The leaders have access to assessment support throughout the month, if needed.
    • Assessment Results: Assessment Results are shared on a regular basis and leaders are required to complete their remediation monthly.

  • 4

     

    Portfolio Submission

    At the end of the programme, we have a dedicated few days with the leaders to compile their Portfolios. From there, these are submitted for assessment.

    Once the assessment process is concluded, leaders receive an Assessment Report which summarises their performance on the programme.

  • 5

     

    Moderation Process

    We first facilitate the internal moderation process. Our moderator moderates 25% of the Portfolios and provides an outcome.

    If the outcome was successful, the group’s achievements can be loaded to the Services Seta and we would await the external moderation process.

    For the external moderation process, the Services Seta verifier moderates a sample of the Portfolios as well and provides their recommendations for certification.

  • 6

     

    Certification Process

    Once the Portfolios are submitted, leaders are provided with a Certificate of Completion.

    Once the Services Seta external moderation visit is completed successfully, we will await the Statement of Results or Certificates from the Services Seta. Once received these are provided to your company.

  • 7

     

    Throughout the process

    At any stage of the programme, you receive the following support:

    • A monthly project update meeting where we share training delivery process, leader assessment status and results, training evaluation feedback and any areas of concern to be noted.

    • Leaders have access to ongoing support. They have an email address they can use for support, which has a 24/hr turn around time, or they can contact their facilitator via the team’s WhatsApp group.
