Formalized training courses are those that have a developed curriculum and are designed to deliver specific leadership concepts and skills. The majority of these courses offer a mix of classroom lecture time combined with activities designed to allow the student to practice the concepts they have learned. Generally these courses are taken as an introduction to new material that will help the student function in their current or next logical position or to address identified areas needing improvement. |
