manager skills training

Course Overview

First Line Managers in an organisation have often been promoted within from a technical or specialist job or have come in from another organisation.

In both cases there will be many new skills to learn and this course will enable you to become more focussed on the objectives of the organisation, develop clear and analytical thinking and become more proactive in a leadership role.

The course looks at the key elements of management – planning, organising, people management and resources control. Emphasis throughout is on positive thinking and taking the team forward.

Also the course covers personal planning, effective team building, decision taking, delegation, communication skills and motivating people.

This First Line Manager Skills course is available throughout the UK.

Testimonials

Candy was brilliant throughout the whole process, there was clear communication before the on-line course outlining details of the course, time, date & format etc along with the handbook which is extremely useful. Then during the actual course Candy was brilliant at explaining everything along with listing and letting me jump in with questions as and when they came up.

Di the trainer was very easy to get on with and was extremely pleasant to work with during our one-to-one session. She took the time to learn about the industry I work in as well as my personal circumstances which made the training very tailor-made to my needs and expectations.
