Overview

This course is designed for potential or newly appointed managers in commerce, industry or any other forms of business activity. It is designed to improve the competence and confidence of junior staff by making them aware of sound business principles and management techniques, and above all "how to use them".

It is a known fact that many organisations, especially the bureaucratic government and local authorities, often spend huge sums of money on training managerial staff and then deny them the opportunity to practice the modern management techniques they have learned.

A prime concern of this course is to introduce the student to the study of major business and management concepts and to allow time to develop the individual skills used for their own work.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
