EqualEngineers’ CPD-Certified The SAFE Leader course comes to 7 cities across the UK from September to November 2025. EqualEngineers are offering EPC members a 10% discount on this course, when booked by email with EqualEngineers.
The SAFE Leader training aims to take you on a transformative leadership journey, and is designed for both current and aspiring leaders in the engineering sector. The course builds inclusive, psychologically safe leadership through our SAFE Framework: Share, Act, Feel, and Empower.
The engineering industry is facing some serious challenges. Our research shows that just over 4 in 5 engineers experience emotional or mental health concerns, yet less than half feel comfortable talking about issues like this with their employer, and a staggering 1 in 4 engineers have considered self-harm or taking their own life. This comes at a time when the skills gap means we’re expected to need a further 173,000 engineers over the next 5 years; meanwhile, women are leaving the industry at an increasing rate. Having psychologically safe teams and culture is more important now than ever.
Across the four modules, The SAFE Leader training aims to:
- Equip leaders with tools needed to create an inclusive, productive, and cohesive environment.
- Empower leaders to inspire and motivate an inclusive team within the workplace.
- Learn concepts to develop psychologically safe leadership skills based on safety engineering.
- Enable leaders to share their ‘anchor story’, enhancing leadership authenticity and self-reflection.
This EqualEngineers course is also CPD-certified, meaning that the 12 hours across the 2-day course will count towards CPD hours for those who are professionally registered.
If you’re ready to cultivate an inclusive leadership style, want tools to use in your workplace, believe active listening is key to success, or are ready to create a culture where people feel able to speak up, then contact EqualEngineers or visit our website to book a place on one of our courses.
