This suite of qualifications is vocationally based and as such offers the opportunity for learners to demonstrate an achievement of practical skills, understanding and knowledge in leadership of productivity and performance. Learners will be assessed on their ability to apply knowledge in relation to key concepts, theories and strategies in promoting productivity and performance through strategic leadership and management.

The UK Government has identified that the productivity of the UK workforce is key to stimulating and developing the British economy. In 2016 the Government announced the creation of a UK Productivity Council to encourage and support businesses to boost management skills and productivity. These qualifications have been designed by NOCN to support the achievement of these aims. We have worked with the Institute of Productivity to ensure that they are fit for purpose.

The qualifications will develop learners’ knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to the strategic leadership and management of performance and productivity improvement.
