Who is it for?
This 12-week part-time course is aimed at those wishing to further their academic qualifications and enhance their career opportunities within their organisation, with a particular emphasis on managerial roles at operational, regional, divisional, departmental and specialist levels.
This short higher-level programme focusses on:
Organisational Behaviour Management
Organisational behaviour is concerned with understanding, explaining and predicting the behaviour of individuals in the workplace and can assist in the development of practical solutions to organisational and managerial problems.
Individuals, whether acting in isolation or collectively as part of a group, engage in actions and behaviours that can have a positive or negative impact on organisational performance and the achievement of strategic goals. It is therefore essential that those who are involved in managing and leading people in organisations acquire insight and expertise in organisational behaviour.
Managing and Leading Change
‘Change is the only constant in life’ (Heraclitus, 500 BCE). Whatever industry and whatever role, there is always change. As such, businesses need to adapt and change with the changing business environment, perhaps now even more so as organisations are seeing change at a more rapid speed than ever before.

Entry Requirements
All applicants are individually assessed on their qualifications, skills, and experience. You should have the desire to further your career and hold at minimum of level 3 qualifications, A Levels or equivalent. Ideally, applicants should also have GCSE maths and English (or equivalent). If the applicant has the necessary experience within professional roles but not the appropriate qualifications, then this will be assessed on evidence of work history.

What does the course involve?
Unit 9: Operational Behaviour Management - The aim of this unit is to develop knowledge and understanding of how organisational behaviour concepts, theories and techniques can be applied in work and management settings to enhance individual, team and organisational performance.
This unit also explores the influence of culture and of the operation of power and politics in organisations, and how these variables influence the actions and behaviour of people in an organisational context. This includes core people management skills used to achieve positive organisational outcomes and to create value by recognising individual difference, team working and the creation of inclusive organisational cultures.
Unit 10: Managing and Leading Change - From minor process changes to large-scale structural change, the aim of this unit is to understand the different types and scope of change that may occur in an organisation. Looking at the drivers and triggers for change, how they vary and affect organisations in different ways, how technology plays a big part in this increased pace of change and the degree of impact and management’s response to change.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to apply a range of change management concepts, including diagnosing driving and resisting forces, planning for change and dealing with change in organisational settings, putting them in a strong position to contribute to change initiatives in the workplace.

Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business
Previous School: Lakelands Academy
I like that the course is assignment based, which suits my skills a lot more than doing exams. There are also a lot of practical elements to the course which I really enjoyed, like doing presentations, creating displays and taking part in class debates. The course has given me a good understanding of how businesses work, and it’s been my steppingstone into employment. I’ve got an apprenticeship in a recruitment business in Shrewsbury set up for after I leave college.

Advanced Carpentry and Joinery Apprentice
I have come to the end of my apprenticeship and have gained not only practical joinery skills but also life skills such as organisation and communication. I have learnt how to work safely and well in a team environment. This apprenticeship has been a brilliant way to earn and learn along the way and has set me up with skills and qualifications to carry me through the rest of my working life.

Level 2 Diploma in Business
Previous School: Church Stretton School
I liked the small business planning part of the course most of all. We were taught the basics of how to start your own business up and the financial planning that goes into that, so the course has given me ideas about how I could organise my own business and move forward in the right direction. My mum runs her own small catering business and I want to start a similar business of my own when I finish college.

The teachers are engaging at SCG and I really enjoy the lessons – they are well taught. I have enjoyed learning about finance and also how Twitter can be used in national and international business. Over the Summer I successfully gained an Internship with the JP Morgan Think Ahead Program.

HNC in Business
The HNC has provided me with a thorough understanding of business fundamentals, which I have been able to translate into my working life as a Marketing Executive. Having started in this career less than two years ago as an entry level Communications Coordinator, I have already received a promotion and have undertaken increased levels of responsibility.
