A leadership development programme for young people
The All-Round Leadership Learning System (ARLLS), is a comprehensive leadership development programme for young people, delivered online through partnerships with schools, colleges, universities, employers and youth organisations. The ARLLS programme incorporates blended learning and active learning methods to deliver fresh and engaging leadership training to young people – at a time when they are most ready to learn.
Dynamic leadership training for future leaders
Each module is made up of 4 components:
- Online lesson to learn at their own pace, revisit key concepts and access materials anytime, anywhere
- Experiential activity that allows young people to learn from each others’ real-life experiences
- Facilitated workshop where learners can practise communication skills, participate in group discussions, and tackle simulated leadership challenges, fostering deeper understanding and practical application of leadership principles.
- Individual reflection ensuring that concepts are not just committed to memory but truly internalised.

We have been using ARLLS in youth leadership programmes for 15 years, during which time we have evolved the curriculum in line with sound academic research alongside our own observations. We have found that our learners:
- improved their employability and energised their workplaces

What our learners say
“The courses have helped me treat my leadership journey like a lifelong educational journey, as it is delivered with equal importance as my academic course.”
“Through the personal experiences section, people are nothing short of understanding and even inspirational at times. It’s quite extraordinary how we have been able to relate to one another and help each other look at situations from a different perspective.”
“I have gained insights into how people think, and how this should inform how I lead. The tips from the emotional intelligence workshop on being mindful of people’s thoughts and circumstances have been useful when chairing meetings and allocating tasks.”
“The courses have made me be more mindful of different leadership techniques to become a more efficient and impactful leader.”
