This problem-solving course teaches you how to identify, analyze and solve the challenges encountered in your business. It is designed to sharpen your team's critical thinking skills, leverage industry leading tools, and decipher the critical problems facing your business.

During this course you will explore how to understand and evaluate a problem. You will learn how to break a problem down into smaller pieces and weigh the pros and the cons of a solution. You will discover how to avoid common mistakes people make in problem solving, including blaming others and taking a simple ‘cause and effect’ approach.

You will then learn how to develop and design a solution, which will include collaborating with other stakeholders. You will consider how to anticipate a plan B and a plan C. Plus, you will establish how to learn from mistakes and build on lessons you have learned.


This career-changing course comprises four purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined development path.

It is an instructor-led program which runs to a fixed schedule, with set start and finish dates. It is driven forward by your instructor and features eight hours of instructor-led workshops through Microsoft Teams. You will, however, have time to complete an additional four hours of homework assignments in your own time outside of the live sessions.

As part of our mentoring service you will have access to valuable guidance and support throughout the course. We provide a dedicated discussion space where you can ask questions, chat with your peers, and resolve issues.

Your Certificate of Completion will be issued once you have successfully finished the course.
