Aiming High

This is a course aimed to support and guide candidates seeking School Leadership Posts.

Gain insight into securing ’the next step’ in our virtual course, followed by 1 to 1 input.

This course provides suggestions, tips and advice on seeking a leadership post. Within a small group discussion, we cover application processes; writing your CV and Personal Statement; key areas to have an understanding of in preparation for leadership; tips for interviews; as well as general support and advice towards working your way to securing a leadership post. 

This is a personalised course – we will seek with you beforehand to understand your exact needs and stage in your career. After the course session we will arrange a 1-to-1 session with you, to be tailored to your specific needs.

We run our ‘Aiming High’ course as many strong potential candidates come to us seeking advice and support of this nature, and find our course to be most valuable. It is led by experts from our AMC team who are former Heads / school leaders themselves, as well as having worked in education recruitment, and therefore have much experience in the best practice and tips towards seeking leadership posts both in the UK and internationally.  

We limit the course to a small number of attendees in order for the course to provide maximum benefit to each attendee. The small numbers on the course enables you to feel part of a conversation, not just a CPD experience. The cost for attending, including the post 1:1 session is £225 + VAT.

Previous attendees on the course have said afterwards:

This course is a must for anyone with aspirations for school leadership.

Aiming High is the best piece of career CPD I have had the good fortune to participate in.  The course leaders are exceptionally knowledgeable and are able to tailor the support to your exact requirements.

The course does what it says on the tin – helps you to ‘Aim High’ – in a precise manner.

I would recommend this course without a doubt. It was the best career CPD I have done.

I started the sessions with a broad understanding of what was required to take the next step in my career but I finished the course with a real sense of clarity and some excellent advice.

This course not only delivers essential practical suggestions for the entire process of applying for Leadership positions, from completing your CV to interview techniques, but it also enables you to benefit from the wealth of experience on show from the impressive presenters. I would thoroughly recommend this course.
