Overview

Our time management training courses for administrators look at what time management means and explores the key tools for managing our time. Participants are encouraged to keep a diary for a short period before the course and we will use this to analyse strengths and weaknesses. There are a range of practical tips, tools and techniques to help you prioritise and use your time effectively as well as managing your paperwork and workstation. There is time for sharing experiences with others through open, group discussions, and you will consider practical, real-life examples with suggested solutions. This course is not designed to sell you an expensive 'time management system' - just lots of practical ideas and skills which really do make a difference.

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.
