How completion works
Pass the practice question in every lesson first, then pass four assessment sets in order. Each set has 10 distinct questions and requires at least 80% (8 out of 10). All four must be passed; a high score in one cannot compensate for another. It is open-book and must be your own work. This automated assessment checks course understanding; it does not independently verify identity or workplace competence.
Each set attempt has its own 15-minute window. Starting an attempt counts even if you abandon it. Wait 15 minutes from the start before a retake; after every third attempt of the same set wait 24 hours. Passed sets stay saved. A live attempt can be resumed. Retakes and learning remain free.
About this course
Ethical leadership appears in ordinary choices about information, opportunity, accurate records and personal interests. This course introduces a practical way to notice the affected people, separate evidence from assumptions and explain a decision through relevant criteria. A fair-sounding announcement is not enough if the actual implementation follows private preference.
The activities use fictional examples to practise disclosure, proportionate information handling and appropriate routes for concerns. A report is not automatically a proven finding, and a difficult choice may need specialist input. This course does not provide a legal opinion or authorise a formal investigation. Its purpose is introductory ethical reasoning and responsible follow-through within the learner’s actual role.
Who this course is for
Team leaders examining everyday ethical tensions and responsible decision handling.
A practical example
A fictional leader helps allocate a development opportunity and has a close friend among the eligible people. The relevant interest should be handled through the appropriate disclosure and decision process rather than kept secret because the leader feels impartial.
Compare applications using the relevant agreed criteria, and record the reason for the actual decision. If two outcomes differ, identify the meaningful difference rather than rely on friendship or status. Later, check whether the opportunity was implemented as explained. Accurate records make the reasoning easier to review and correct where needed.
Try your own fictional version, then enrol to work through the lessons, practice and assessments. Use this unmarked example to explore the skill before working through the course activities.
