Introduction to Management

Introduction

The Introduction to Management - Level 3 University Foundation Program, is a 60 credit qualification (Equivalent to one A-Level), aimed at students, who are looking at gaining entry to Universities as well as team leaders with experience in managerial roles, looking at climbing the corporate ladder. The course also provides an entry-level qualification for those who have completed Business studies, at Level 2 or 3 and wish to gain skills and competencies for employment in a management setting due to its unique design to provide a broader spectrum of knowledge required for effective management, while still focusing on key management areas specific to their workplace.
In today’s high-tech, a high paced business environment that needs to respond to the rapidly changing needs of the industry, there seems to be a gap that seeks to be bridged to achieve the potential Organizational success.

Effective communication and the ability to inspire and lead are commonly the crucial skills people lack.
