In a groundbreaking initiative by AHEX Institute, an immersive two-week onsite training program was executed within the prison services environment. The agenda? To empower participants with first-line manager duties, enhancing their leadership potential and shaping them into effective communicators.
The primary participants of this program were prison officers looking to step into managerial roles. They were provided with a unique opportunity to earn a prestigious ILM Level 3 certification in Leadership and Management.
The objective was twofold: to foster an environment of growth and learning within the prison service, and to equip these future leaders with the tools necessary to handle the unique challenges presented in their line of work.
The training was meticulously structured to balance theoretical learning and practical hands-on experiences. AHEX’s seasoned experts crafted engaging scenarios that simulated real-life challenges, allowing participants to apply their learning in a controlled environment.

Upon completion of the training, the participants emerged with a newfound confidence and a robust set of leadership skills. The ILM Level 3 certification they earned wasn’t just a testament to their commitment but also a beacon of their readiness to take on first-line manager duties.
