Whether you want more structure, better systems, or clearer direction, EMS can help you move your business forward with more confidence.
Not necessarily.
Many of our management courses are designed for people who are new to leadership roles or are preparing to take on management responsibilities for the first time.
You may already be supervising colleagues, leading projects, or supporting a team without having had any formal management training. Our courses help you develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to manage people effectively.
We focus on practical topics such as communication, delegation, motivation, performance management, and leadership, helping you feel more confident in your role from day one.
If you’re unsure which level is right for you, our team can help you identify the most suitable starting point.
Absolutely.
Many experienced managers choose EMS training to strengthen their leadership skills, gain recognised qualifications, and develop new approaches to managing people and teams.
As organisations evolve, managers are often expected to lead change, improve performance, support staff wellbeing, and make increasingly complex decisions. Our programmes help managers build on their existing experience while developing practical skills that can be applied immediately within their organisation.
We offer training for first-line managers, middle managers, senior leaders, directors, and business owners, with programmes covering areas such as leadership, strategic thinking, team development, performance management, organisational improvement, and executive leadership.
Whether you’ve recently stepped into management or have years of leadership experience, there are opportunities to continue developing your skills and confidence.
Many EMS courses are fully funded, but funding depends on factors such as where you live, your current circumstances, and the programme you’re interested in.
We work with a range of funding providers across areas including Tees Valley, York & North Yorkshire, and the wider North East. This means funding opportunities can vary throughout the year.
The good news is that you don’t need to work it all out yourself. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, simply get in touch and we’ll explain what support may be available and recommend the most suitable options.
Many learners are pleasantly surprised to discover they are eligible for funded training.
Many EMS courses include recognised qualifications or certificates, while others focus on developing practical skills and knowledge that can be applied immediately.
The qualification you receive will depend on the course you choose.
Every course page clearly explains what is included, and our team can help you understand which qualifications may be most relevant to your goals.
More importantly, our focus is not just on gaining a certificate. We want you to leave with skills, confidence, and knowledge that you can put into practice straight away.
