Content

The NPQSL programme is delivered over an 18 month period with 4 modules. At the end of the taught elements you will undertake a summative assessment.

Below is a breakdown of how the programme is delivered and the time commitment.

Assessment

Formative assessment takes place throughout the programme, helping you understand the progress you are making, and facilitators to adapt your learning experiences.

Summative assessment takes the form of a 2000-word response to a case study, completed in a single 8-day window at the end of your programme. The assessment will give you the opportunity to demonstrate how you would deploy the knowledge, skills and understanding gained through the NPQ to lead and implement a specific aspect of change.
