New Manager Certificate Programme

No one is born a great manager. Learn, practice and use the key management skills you need in your role as a manager.

The Key Issues

Moving into a new management role is a great opportunity, but no one is born a great manager. As a new manager, you need to learn, practise and use key management skills to be successful in your new role. If you don’t, it can be stressful and difficult to get things done. Successful managers take the time to develop these new skills.

You have to learn quickly how and what to delegate, what motivates your team, how to deal with conflict and manage performance. You also have to report to your boss and senior management and at the same time make sure that ownership is a key part of each team member’s roles. You can’t do it all yourself anymore, you need to develop a high performing team who works with you.

Based on our experience with millions of managers globally, we have developed the New Manager Certificate Programme that focuses on the key management skills you need in your role today and tomorrow. You get the change to learn, practice and use these new skills and be prepared for your management role.
