This 14-week classroom-based short course empowers individuals to facilitate learning, manage conflict, and promote effective communication within teams and organisations. Through interactive Saturday sessions, participants explore personal mastery, communication intelligence, adult learning principles, and group dynamics. By the end of the course, students should be able to apply critical thinking, build trust, lead through change, and navigate diverse teams using appropriate feedback and mediation strategies. This course is ideal for mature-age students preparing for part-time BA studies at Wits or anyone seeking to develop their communication and leadership skills. A National Senior Certificate with Higher Grade English (D symbol) or Level 4 English is required for enrolment.

MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
