Course in Focus
Are you looking for a PD course you can complete in your own time?
We recommend our 5 Love Languages of Leadership Course that focuses on strategies to support you to lead an engaged team who feel acknowledged (loved). 'People leave leaders not organisations', this inspires us at Hourglass Time Education to consider these approaches to support whole service success through leadership.

Your Mock Assessement was so thorough that we had all the compliance areas covered and the ESB weren’t able to find anything we didn’t have done. It was well worth the moment and has given us a lot of direction. We couldn’t have done it without you, because of your recommendations in the report and on the day, we are hopeful for a positive outcome.
