Choosing the right level of study
You will probably have different levels of development requirements for your staff dependent on their grade and experience. We can help you identify the correct level taking into account their previous work experience and whether or not they possess any relevant academic or professional qualifications.
Our range of courses has three entry points.
- For front line staff new to management or planning to move into management positions, for those working in a supervisory capacity including team leaders and supervisors, and those starting as project managers, we would recommend our Certificate course in Professional Practice (with Specialism). This course is aimed at staff who may not possess prior academic qualifications but have one to two years’ work experience and are capable of study at this level.
- For junior management staff who want to progress, or middle managers who seek development, we would recommend our Professional Diploma in Management. Employees would need at least five years’ relevant work experience and some prior academic or professional qualifications for this course, which develops existing skills and knowledge through the application of theory to practice.
- For staff working in senior management, likely at a strategic level and who possess a good UK honours degree or a relevant professional qualification and have at least three years’ appropriate work experience we would recommend our MBA programme which is designed to cover the spectrum of management subjects, calling on a wide range of expertise.
