Course Content

Induction – 05 November 2024 (09:00-16:30)

The course consists of three modules as follows:

Principles of Management and Leadership – 12 November 2024 (09:00-16:30) & 19 November 2024 (09:00-16:30)

Being equipped with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to manage and lead effectively is essential if an individual and their organisation are to succeed. This unit has been designed for learners who want to develop or sharpen their professional edge and enhance personal effectiveness. The unit focuses on the ways organisations operate. The application of management and leadership approaches and how these can positively impact on own role, lead to improved performance, and support teams, colleagues and customers.

Managing Own Personal and Professional Development – 17 December 2024 (09:00-16:30) & 07 January 2025 (09:00-16:30)

In order to meet the demands of an ever changing workplace, individuals need to ensure they continue to update and develop their knowledge and skills. Planning for personal and professional development ensures greater opportunities for success. The purpose of the unit is to support the manager to identify the benefits of engaging in personal and professional development. By using the knowledge gained, a meaningful development plan will be created to support you to become an effective manager in the workplace.

Supporting Teams and Individuals Through Change – 04 February 2025 (09:00-16:30), 18 February 2025 (09:00-13:00) & 04 March 2025 (09:00-16:30)

Change is inevitable if an organisation is to maintain competitiveness and currency of practice. Managers are constantly asked to implement change to respond to commercial pressures, legal organisational requirements, efficiencies or improvements. Success often depends on the support given by managers to staff. The aim of this unit is to enable managers to lead people positively through change. This is achieved by implementing plans which identify ways to make change successful, and gaining the support and trust of individuals and teams.

In addition to the workshops you will be expected to spend approximately 20-25 hours self-studying per unit.
