The Executive Leadership Program (ELP) is designed for executives identified as having the potential to achieve the most senior position within their organisation.  The program focuses on strategic leadership issues that will shape future policy planning in emergency services.

The ELP builds on the knowledge acquired through the Executive Development Program (EDP). Completion of the EDP (or an equivalent course of study) is a pre-requisite criterion for enrolment in the ELP.

Upon successfully completing the ELP, participants will be awarded a Graduate Diploma in Executive Leadership (Policing and Emergency Services).
