The topic of leadership is currently changing immensely. Whereas personnel management used to be characterized by specifications and control, managers now lead their teams at eye level and in a very agile manner. The reason: globalization and digitization have increased the pressure on companies to innovate immensely. Today, customers expect new services and products more and more quickly. It is all the more important that social skills are placed in the foreground in the management function and management activity and that swarm knowledge is used successfully in an organization. This enables new ideas to emerge more quickly. Managers no longer provide ready-made solutions, but accompany their team on the way to the goal. To this end, they act as enablers, coaches, motivators and mentors. However, this requires new leadership skills from them. For example, only leaders who can establish a good relationship with their employees and motivate them to achieve their best individual performance will lead their department to success. The good news is that leadership skills can be learned. The good news: Leadership skills can be learned and this training provides the necessary psychological skills that are important for the new role as a manager. With leadership training, organizations increase the success of their teams. It pays off.
It is suitable for established managers who want to refresh their leadership skills and adapt them to the new conditions. In addition to a CAS leadership training and further training, an SVF leadership training is another opportunity to learn the new type of leadership from scratch. If, for example, you have completed basic education and have several years of professional experience in business or administration, you are wondering how you can prepare for your desired management tasks, this type of targeted further training to prepare you for a management position is the method of choice. Perhaps you have recently taken on a management role and still feel unsafe in the new terrain? Even then, it is a good idea to further develop your leadership role and your leadership skills in a targeted manner.
You want to update your leadership skills, but are so busy in your everyday life that you can hardly shovel the time to take part in time-consuming leadership training? Then an online leadership course is the method of choice for you. The advantage: You can integrate your remote courses into your everyday life as a manager in the way that suits you best. Access to your Leadership Online course is available around the clock and can be called up anywhere on the device of your choice – whether it’s a smartphone, laptop or tablet.

A variety of formats are available to you: Use videos, podcasts, e-papers or scenario-based training in your leadership online course to deepen your knowledge.
All content is taught 100 percent online. However, a leadership online course from Swiss Connect Academy is not to be confused with self-study. You do not learn exclusively with online learning materials within our learning platform. You are also part of a virtual class. With this, you exchange ideas within a virtual classroom, independent of location and time, and regularly receive direct qualified feedback from experienced trainers.
Simply log into the SCA learning platform using your computer, smartphone or tablet. And you’re ready to go. The online course and present lessons are held in German.

On the other hand, you have also received the necessary tools from a business point of view to optimally carry out your leadership tasks.

Each module passed is individually certified. If you want to register for the exam for the SVF Leadership Certificate, you can do so online without any problems. However, after the SVF Leadership Examination, your training does not have to end. Supplement your Leadership SVF Certificate with the SVF Management Certificate, which is also included in the training portfolio of the Swiss Connect Academy. After successfully completing the SVF Leadership and Management certificates, the next step at the SVF is to complete the professional examination to become a management specialist with a federal certificate.
