Apprenticeship in Management, the management acumen programme

The management acumen programme is aimed at first line managers in the private, public and voluntary sectors, ranging from small local SMEs to large, national organisations.

Making the first step from team member to manager is often the most challenging aspect of someone’s career however, we often expect someone to make this step easily as they were high performers in their previous role.

The management acumen programme enables individuals to make the step seamlessly and if they have been in a management role for a while, analyse their leadership and management skills to identify how they can significantly improve the results of their team.

The programme uses directive programme content (learning resources) to develop new knowledge and skills, combined with non-directive coaching to ensure managers learn for themselves and apply new knowledge and skills effectively in the workplace.
