I found the STAR® model really useful. I was never comfortable in managing people, but changing my mindset to see it as a coaching opportunity really opened my eyes and helped me and the business develop.

PROGRAMME FEATURES
This is not an e-learning programme. It’s a fabulous, exciting and engaging journey that really increases managers’ capabilities… and it’s also a lot of fun. One way this is achieved is by incorporating a wide range of activities across the blend.
There is a quiz every 3-4 modules to check understanding and provide some guidance ahead of each assessment.
Reflection is a key part of learning and critical to any behavioural change, yet most virtual learning programmes completely miss this aspect. STAR® Manager has reflection integrated into every module.
Each module has a range of different interactive e-learning exercises to keep the learner engaged and actively participating.
Learning Circles are an optional part of the programme and a unique opportunity to work directly with a world-class tutor and a small group of 2-3 fellow learners in a live virtual classroom.
Learners can participate in the forum to share learnings, best practice and engage with colleagues who are also on the programme.
Interactive drama videos are built into the journey where the learner makes decisions to help some of the managers at a company called ‘Rocket’.
The Learning Log is a highly innovative part of the programme to embed new skills via guided learning exercises that build into a detailed private journal.
In addition to several self-assessment exercises, at the end of each set of 10 modules, there is a formal assessment. You need to achieve a 70% pass mark to continue through the programme.
After every module, the learner is set a work-based mission to incorporate into their role and practise the skills they have just learned.
Key concepts, models, exercises and tools can all be downloaded as PDFs and turned into a fantastic toolkit and ongoing resource bank.
There are 18 different activities across the programme blend, here are just 10 examples. Click on each icon to learn more
It’s designed for any time, any place and any device!
As long as Managers have an internet connection, they can complete the programme. They work through the programme, at their own pace… in a ‘cohort size’ of one, or in a predefined cohort of any size of peers or even as part of an ‘open programme’ joined by other organisations.

WHAT LEARNERS ARE SAYING ABOUT STAR®
“
To learn the art of coaching gives you incredible benefits, not only in the workplace but in your home life as well. I gained a deep understanding and really learnt how to use the technique. The course is well put together, easy to understand and you receive so much support and help from a very friendly team. Well done and thank you.
