ICA Master Programme
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn
– Benjamin Franklin
Course Overview
After almost 20 years of experience delivering coaching and training courses from our training facility in Liverpool, we have created an in-depth, CPD Accredited programme covering the four areas that we find people struggle with the most. The result is our ICA Master Programme, delivered at our Liverpool Academy. Studying for either one evening a week for 16 weeks or two evenings a week for 8 weeks, you will cover:
- Performance skills
- Leadership skills
- Communication skills
- Business skills
