I love that it covered a range of different topics that other courses don't. I've taken in-house training before and it didn't cover half of the topics we covered here.

Shaun Donelly

Engineering Manager

Engineering Management is difficult to define as it varies so much from company to company. Therefore, it was great to get a grounded perspective from a number of people across different businesses. My cohort was exceptionally diverse and Morgan is an expert in asking difficult questions in a manner that makes you feel able to share.

Tristan Watson

Engineering Manager

Working in a cohort of aspiring leaders from all different backgrounds and organisations was great! I enjoyed the practical and roleplay exercises we did in our sessions. Everyone sharing their challenges and ideas really enriched the experience and I’m grateful to now have these people in my network. I’d highly recommend Helm to anyone.

if you want to become a manager, then Helm School will provide you with a solid foundation. If you already are one, you'll get an edge by identifying your weak spots and improving upon them. Morgan is an empathetic people-focused manager who is bound to leave a mark on your management style.

Coaching has been something I've always done. It started s a graduate engineer teaching school children how to build rails apps. Now I'm teaching the next wave of engineering leaders through Helm.
