Good to Know

Regulatory changes introduced in 2025 mean that QQI Level 6 Leadership no longer meets the formal education requirements for new PICs in designated centres.

This Course Is for You

If your position involves managing an organisation, people or teams in a nursing home or home care environment, e.g., nursing home & home care owners, clinical nurse managers, directors of nursing, managers and team leaders in non-clinical roles, and care staff responsible for managing others.

Requirements

Participants must be healthcare professionals with a minimum QQI Level 5 Major Award or equivalent accreditation, currently in employment and fluent in English with access to a modern PC or smart mobile device with internet access, camera, and microphone.

Language Requirement

The programme is delivered through the English language. Learners should possess a strong command of spoken and written English. For those whose primary language is not English, a minimum proficiency of level B2+ on the Common European Framework of Reference for Language is required (CEFRL).

Adequate Leadership for Healthcare Settings

The course is aimed at equipping participants with crucial skills for managing care settings for older persons. Upon completion, learners will henceforth be able to adapt their management style to meet national quality standards, ensuring effective governance and organisation within the care facility.

Develop the capacity to build high-performing teams, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and proactively address issues impacting residents and clients. Additionally, the course covers coaching, staff management systems, delegation, and employment law relevant to the care sector.

Delivered virtually over six days with webinars, assessment includes a learner record and skills demonstration, finally leading to a QQI Level 6 Leadership component award upon successful completion.
