Description

This on line training course can be taken at your own pace and at a time that fits with your busy schedule.

  1. To understand what is expected of a manger
  2. To recognise the change required in order to move into a management position
  3. To review the competencies required to be an effective manager

Course Content:

  • The process of management
  • Company expectations
  • Your responsibilities
  • Team expectations
  • Reasons managers fail
  • Management competencies

The format of this online management training is as follows:

The course is approximately 40 minutes in duration and starts with a welcome from the tutor, the course aims and how to get the best from the training.

The virtual tutor then begins the training session using visual aids to convey the key messages and supporting commentary. The commentary includes real life examples for you to relate to the subject matter covered. You can take each section at your own pace, repeating the section if required or moving forward when you are comfortable with the material covered.

After the tutor led sessions have been completed you will then take a series of test questions which will verify your understanding of the material. Many of the questions, once answered will provide feedback and an explanation will be given to help consolidate the learning experience, resembling a real life tutor.

Next there is a summary of the key learning points of the module. This is critical as research demonstrates that sumarising at the end of a training session helps to improve the level of retention of the material covered.

You can then print off your personalised certificate to confirm you have completed the course.

Then, to help you convert the learning points into actions there is a post course exercise that and a key learning points document for you to download.

Finally if you have any unanswered questions or require any further support to help you get the best out of the material, you can email our skilled team of sales trainers who are on hand to help.


Access to the course is provided via our LMS which is available 24/7. Access keys are provided via email and are valid for 20 days from date of purchase.

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.
