The utilisation of consultants and specialists has become increasingly prevalent in various industries, owing to the inherent cost efficiency and expertise they bring to businesses and organisations. This course recognises the evolving landscape of workforce management, emphasising that individuals are often promoted based on their technical proficiency, yet the importance of interpersonal skills cannot be overstated.

Participants will gain insights into the theory of learning and various learning styles, providing a solid foundation for staff development initiatives. By understanding the historical evolution of learning theories, managers can implement strategies that align with proven methodologies, optimising the effectiveness of training programs.

Moreover, the course delves into essential management “soft skills” such as motivation, effective communication, teamwork, and delegation. Through comprehensive discussions and practical exercises, participants will learn how to cultivate a positive work environment, foster collaboration, and empower their team members to achieve collective goals. Additionally, the course addresses the inevitability of conflict in the workplace, offering strategies to navigate communication challenges and resolve conflicts constructively.

Finally, the course culminates in equipping managers with the practical tools and techniques needed to deliver impactful training and evaluate staff development initiatives. By focusing on the “nuts and bolts” of training delivery and performance evaluation, managers can ensure the continuous growth and development of their teams, fostering a culture of excellence and productivity.

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.
