This two-day course gives you the chance to decide if management is really for you. Organisations want managers who enjoy working with people, building team morale and effective systems. They want you to enjoy your job. The skill sets for management are quite different to subject matter expertise, so it is important to go into this opportunity with eyes wide open!

Progressing into management is both exciting and daunting. Suddenly you are responsible for directing and managing your peer group. You may get less opportunity to focus on your specialism and now be expected to direct your attention toward helping others to get things done. How do you harness the power of a team? Motivate others and deal with challenges?

This course will provide you with a ‘Day in the Life of a Manager’ and will equip you with the chance to decide whether management is for you and to develop and practice the key skills of an effective first time manager.

Day 1 is on 14th March and Day 2 is on 25th March.
