Participants are required to complete pre-work before attending the Leadership training sessions. Details of the pre-work will be provided by email. The Session 1 pre-work must be submitted one week before the first session so please be aware of this when booking training dates. You can also access the pre-work materials under ‘Course Materials’ on the London Leadership homepage. 
 
Following the training, participants will be required to complete an evaluation of their learning, including a self-reflection and action plan. This should be submitted within six weeks of completing your second session. Details of how to complete and submit the evaluation will be sent by email.
