We’ve found it’s important to include these elements in each of our online learning experiences to help leaders of all levels develop their management and leadership skills in a virtual format.

Whether participants prefer to be in a physical or virtual setting, our leadership development programs are intentionally designed to provide an impactful learning experience. Both types of program settings are designed to engage participants with interactive, human-centered learning. And participant satisfaction with our live online leadership programs matches that of our face-to-face programs.
Our live online courses are delivered in an interactive virtual classroom format that involves participants engaging in real-time exercises and small group interactions with fellow participants and trained facilitators and coaches. Our moderated online leadership courses allow participants to learn at their own pace and are not delivered in a live format, but rather asynchronously. However, participants still get access to a CCL leadership expert and a network of fellow participants to further enhance the learning experience.
Our online leadership programs and management courses are delivered in a variety of formats. Some are offered live online, some are moderated online, and others are in a self-directed and self-paced format. Live online virtual programs are delivered in an interactive virtual classroom where participants learn and engage with one another in real time. Moderated online courses aren’t delivered in a live format, but rather asynchronously, giving participants access to a CCL leadership expert and network of fellow participants to interact with and learn from. Our self-directed online leadership courses and tools enable participants to learn completely at their own pace, no matter where they are located.
While there’s no one online course or program that’s better than the rest, each of our trainings is designed for specific leader levels and needs. For new or first-level leaders, we recommend the Frontline Leader Impact course. You can help prepare mid-level managers to effectively lead hybrid and remote teams with The Effective Leader online program. And if your goal is to enhance strategic thinking and broaden perspectives for senior leaders, explore The Leading Strategically Experience.
