Five focused one-hour sessions designed for new leaders in ELT. Practical, sector-specific, and built around the situations you will actually face - not generic management theory.
The shift from teacher or coordinator to manager is one of the hardest transitions in any ELT career. This program covers the five things new managers consistently wish someone had explained to them earlier - from reading a budget and managing risk to having the conversations nobody teaches you how to have. Five sessions. One hour each. Run live by people with direct ELT sector experience.
Every session is grounded in the ELT operating environment - not generic management content applied loosely to education.
Each session is delivered live online - not pre-recorded. Real questions, real discussion, real answers from experienced facilitators.
Each session includes frameworks, templates, and resources you can take back to your centre and use immediately.
Comprehensive Members save 50%. The full program is $1,100 per person for Basic members and non-members. Comprehensive Members pay $550. Learn about upgrading to Comprehensive Membership.
One topic per session. Each one covers the things new managers consistently wish someone had explained before they were in the room.
The shift from doing to leading is one of the hardest transitions in any career. This session covers what good management looks like in an ELT context - how to set direction, build trust with your team, manage up, and stop feeling like an imposter in your own role.
Understanding your centre's financial picture is a core part of managing it. This session covers how to read a budget, what the key financial levers are in an ELT operation, how enrolment numbers translate into revenue, and what to do when the numbers start looking uncomfortable.
ELT centres operate in a complex regulatory environment. This session gives you a practical overview of the key governance and compliance responsibilities of an ELT manager - including CRICOS, ESOS, privacy, and WHS - and how to identify and manage risk before it becomes a crisis.
Managing a centre that enrols students under 18 comes with significant duty of care obligations. This session covers welfare and accommodation requirements, guardian responsibilities, mandatory reporting, and how to build and maintain a child-safe environment. This is not optional knowledge for managers in the sector.
People management is where most new managers either find their confidence or quietly consider a career change. This session covers how to have a performance conversation without it becoming a catastrophe, how to manage someone who is actively making your life difficult, how to support a struggling staff member, and how to have the critical conversations that nobody wants to have but everyone needs to. Real scenarios, practical frameworks.
Designed for people who are new to management or coordination roles in ELT - whether brand new or a few months in and still finding their feet.
Excellent in the classroom. Management is a different skill set entirely. This program is for you.
