An education in organizational leadership can facilitate the critical thinking skills, ethical analytics, and business forecasting that are often needed for successful leadership. There are online as well as traditional school-based location programs, and some schools offer a hybrid of online and location-based study.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
