Practical, work-based Master's Degree
Delivered in partnership with the University of Gloucestershire
A 'Practical' MBA for you
Much of our lives are spent at work and a great deal of learning takes place there. Learning is often informal, ongoing and unacknowledged, but lifelong.
Business people who have participated in our leadership development programs tell us that the 'learning' becomes real when they are able to apply the ideas, theories and knowledge from the programs to their own organisations, which creates new experiences. 'Learning to lead' transforms not only the leader but also those around them.
An increasing number of business people are choosing to add an extra dimension to their learning; one that views ‘real life’ learning through an academic lens, known as ‘work based learning’. Each of our programs, LEAD™, GOLD™ and GAIN™, provide the option for delegates to have their learning accredited by the University of Gloucestershire.
An MBA - Masters in Business Administration - is the most sought-after business qualification. It is a prestigious postgraduate qualification that business people and employers value extremely highly. The degree is versatile and used all over the world, and can offer a major boost to anyone's career. Entry to the MBA is based on your management experience and so you do not need to have any previous academic qualifications to join the program.
The MBA is the pinnacle of Master’s education. For those that wish to embrace the rigour of academia, obtain new knowledge and insights to improve their own and their company’s performance then our practical MBA is for you.
A work-based MBA
Delegates who have their learning assessed from LEAD™ can achieve a Postgraduate Certificate; those who have their learning assessed from GOLD™ can add to the Postgraduate Certificate and achieve a Postgraduate Diploma. On continuing their development with our GAIN™ program, delegates can have their learning assessed once more to build on their Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma and obtain a Master's degree. This means that delegates can achieve an MBA in Leading Business for running their own business or department within an organisation.
Unlike more traditional Master’s courses, the nature of this unique work based learning programme devised by QuoLux™ and the University of Gloucestershire, does not require you to have any previous academic qualifications. Indeed, many delegates haven't attended university before or may have left school at sixteen with few formal qualifications, yet have achieved a Postgraduate recognition of their leadership learning.
Each learner applies their studies to real projects that add value to their business. They choose the focus of their project, which could be, for example, an important challenge that they're working through at that time.
QuoLux™ also offers an online version of the MBA, called Leading MBA – an MBA program accredited by the University of Gloucestershire that is 100% online.
What Our Clients Say
Sarah Bryars
Chief Executive, Target PRBecause this MBA is designed with the needs of owner-managers in mind, it gives me the opportunity to exercise academic rigour in the practical development of my personal leadership and business growth. Every moment is contributing to my firm's success, with fast and lasting benefits.
Dan Hodgson
Vice President Sales and Marketing, Prima Dental GroupIt is my goal to have an MBA. The practical approach from LEAD™- GOLD™- GAIN™ and the immediate applied learning from those is more appropriate to me, my business and the development of both me and my business than traditional and executive taught MBA programs. I’d recommend this route to all ambitious businesspeople.
Luke Freeman
Joint-CEO, MF Freeman GroupLEAD™, GOLD™, GAIN™ and work based learning have helped me to grow my business substantially. We now take a longer term view, our strategic thinking has improved, we have a five-year plan and our sales have grown by 271% with record profits. And what's more... I now have an MBA in running my own company!
Andrew Snape
Managing Director, Snape ContractingThe work based learning process is to be thoroughly recommended. It is the final part of the fantastic LEAD™ program that focuses people like me running a company to look at how we are managing our business or department and reflect on what could be done better. Work based learning draws together all the most relevant and important learning from LEAD™ personal to me into a four-part document that I can then re-read and reflect upon further. In my opinion, this reflection and concentration of the learning more than doubles the considerable benefit that I had already gained from LEAD™!
Lynis Bassett
CEO, Class PeopleI want you to know that I could not have done that restructure, made that change without the work I did as part of my Postgraduate Certificate in Leading Business, where I focused on change and doing something different.
