In order to get the most out of the Introduction to Management short course you should already have some experience of leading a team and/or be able to relate to the management role within your own workplace. You will get the most out of the course if you are able to bring real world examples to the group discussions and case studies where your understanding of the role of the manager will be greatly enhanced.

At the end of the 2 days' training you will have a comprehensive understanding of the role of the manager and the most effective techniques needed to manage a team. You will receive a certificate of completion from PSP and a course manual to solidify your learning.

During the training you will set your own personal development plan with input from your course trainer.
