The course, named Principles of Management and Leadership Level 3 Diploma, will be conducted over one year by The City of Liverpool College. It is tailored for individuals currently in or aspiring to enter management roles within the gaming industry.

This educational offering is "aimed at those engaged in the sector who manage development teams or operational personnel, establish and track objectives, supervise routine operations, and direct team members to ensure efficient execution of projects or tasks."

Combining both virtual and in-person classes, the curriculum addresses numerous management topics, such as stakeholder engagement, team leadership, project management, and data handling.
