8 Flagship Programmes Senior Executive Development Programme (EDP) NQF Level 9 Wits Business School receives many enquiries from organisations for a short attendance programme to develop executives. Some organisations do not want an examined programme for this level of individual and therefore do not want to send these delegates on certificate programmes. This programme consists of 12 days of contact time delivered to meet the requirements of the client organisation. The programme will span a period of four to six months. Successful completion of the programme will result in the awarding of an Attendance Certificate entitled Executive Development Programme. Certificate Programme in Leadership Development (CPLD) NQF Level 8 This competence programme comprises three courses of study in a modular structure: i.e. Strategy, Leadership and Context of Business, as well as an Action Learning Project, Personal Quest, and Coaching and Assessment. In addition, four electives may be selected for the group. It is run as four 5-day sessions (Mondays to Fridays from 08:00 to 17:00) over a period of four to six months. Assignments are completed between blocks. Certificate Programme in Management Development (CPMD) NQF Level 7 This competence programme is ideally suited to new managers as it provides the grounding in the knowledge and skills required to be a manager. The course aims to develop give them an understanding of the key disciplines that relate to their function as a business manager. The programme comprises seven courses of study in a modular structure. It is run as four 5-weekday sessions over a period of four months. Assignments are completed between blocks. Each module is examined. Future Leader Development Programme Content (FLD) NQF Level 6 The Future Leader Development Programme aims to equip graduates entering the work place for the first time with the relevant skills and knowledge to adapt to their organisation and develop faster as leaders. Most candidates are only sent on leadership development programmes after a certain length of tenure within corporations. This course seeks to fast track young graduates joining a company for the first time, to set them up for future success. The programme offers both classroom-based input as well as one-on-one coaching sessions towards improving performance. The coaches assigned to students also work with internal company mentors to ensure learnings are translated back into the workplace.

9 Management Advancement Programme (MAP) NQF Level 8 The Management Advancement Programme (MAP) is designed for Middle Managers to accelerate their careers by learning the essential components of management, and earning a certified Wits University qualification that has been highly valued among employers in the South African market for over 25 years. The programme has a modular structure of six courses of study, two non-examinable, but compulsory modules, Group Dynamics and Business Simulation. The course commences with a compulsory two-day full-time Group Dynamics Programme. Thereafter, students begin the academic programme, completing two courses at a time in sequence. New Managers Programme (NMP) NQF Level 7 The New Managers Programme is a WBS entry-level programme for transforming oneself from a specialist to a general management role. The programme will introduce managers to business principles and skills in management areas while giving participants an overview of the basic principles of finance and marketing, particularly within the South African context. This is accomplished by enhancing skills in analysing and evaluating complex information and in so doing, increasing an understanding of the dynamics of an organisation. The NMP is a must for career progression into a general and eventual senior management position. The course content is rigorous, whilst sufficiently broad to be impactful to anyone who goes through it. The classroom experience is not only based on the Case Teaching Method, which is widely used at WBS, but also the syndicate group-based interaction which further enhances the participantbased learning environment.
