(Social) Leadership Skills?
Social Sciences?

The previous translator listed "agogics" which I certain is incorrect, but I'm not certain what the equivalent course title would be.

English translation:Social and Cultural Science
Explanation:
Agogie is translated as Social and Cultural Work, so when it's on a course list I'd indeed call it Science. Social Science could be sufficient, but adding Cultural to it, makes it more specific.

social guidance


Explanation:
you study to be a social guide

just a suggestion, I don't know whether your document allows of it, whether this translation would be an odd one out in it

but I do think that in a course context (if I understand this context correctly) "agogische vaardigheden" and "social guidance" are near-synonyms.

agogie: die beïnvloedingsprocessen, waarin welbewust en op deskundige wijze gestreefd wordt naar verbetering van een bestaande toestand, althans naar een verandering van deze toestand in de wenselijk geachte richting

agogiek: systematische uiteenzetting (theorie) van de grondslagen, doelstellingen, inhouden, methoden en organisatievormen van de beïnvloeding (beheer, beleid, begeleiding) met betrekking tot intermenselijke relaties en relatievorming.
