What you will study

The curriculum moves from principle to practice, helping learners connect values, behaviour, influence and responsibility through structured online learning, reflection and tutorial engagement.

Module 1

Is Leadership for me?

This module helps learners consider whether leadership is relevant to them, even where they do not hold a formal role or title. It introduces leadership as influence, responsibility and conduct, encouraging learners to reflect on their own values and the effect their choices can have on others.

Module 2

One World, One Life, One Opportunity

This module introduces the idea that each learner has one life, one world and one opportunity to decide how they will act within it. It encourages early reflection on personal responsibility, values-led behaviour and the possibility of beginning a structured journey towards greater calibre and integrity.

Certificates and award documents

This introductory pathway provides a statement of recognition for the learner's Calibre journey and prepares the learner for later pathways where Calibre Credits™ become available.

Frequently asked questions

Key points about registration, introductory recognition and public intake information.

Learners receive Statement of Aspiration, Calibre and Integrity. This records their aspiration or intent within the IOWL calibre journey and prepares them for future Calibre Credits™ pathways.

IOWL Positive Value Leadership courses are delivered online as a structured, personal journey of self-propelled learning, reflection and transformation. The Smartboard provides the curriculum, guided learning, reflective activities and coursework that learners are expected to study, consider and apply to their own context.


Live, interactive virtual tutorials then bring that independent learning to life. They are designed for conversation, questioning, experience, challenge, reflection and application rather than for repeating the curriculum as a lecture.


Where the pathway includes scheduled live tutorials, learners use them to explore key ideas, discuss experiences, ask questions, test understanding and reflect with the live session lead and other learners. The emphasis is participation and application rather than passive attendance.


Positive Value Leadership is designed as a transformative developmental journey. Transformation develops over time through honest reflection, purposeful action and the practical application of learning across the full course experience.


Before and during the course, learners receive induction, clear instructions, important dates, advance guidance and reminders. Each learner is then expected to familiarise themselves with the platform, follow the instructions provided, manage their own progress and navigate to the appropriate learning activities and live events.


This approach reflects the principle of “Integrous Agency” at the heart of Positive Value Leadership: taking personal responsibility for one’s own development, acting purposefully and approaching the course with a “can-do” attitude and, ideally, an “it’s done” attitude.
