Course Overview


  • Understand the essential skills for people in supervisory positions
  • Manage people, time and delegate work more effectively
  • Enhance professional networking and progress as a manager

This practical two-day workshop assists participants to improve their understanding of themselves and their team. It encourages them to build action plans to improve their time, stress and performance management and helps them to analyse their own network and develop strategies to enhance it. The workshop explores the role and responsibilities of those in supervisory positions and teaches skills that help get the best from work colleagues. It teaches techniques for delegating work effectively, setting work goals and prioritising work, and building personal and staff performance plans. Participants practise on-the-job coaching and feedback skills, and learn how to enhance professional networking and progress as a manager.

ZOOM Virtual Classroom

Our virtual classroom consists of a facilitator teaching the class to students who are dialled in remotely to the class session. Presentation slides and other digital files can be presented during the training session using the Zoom platform and the student may either focus on these resources or the facilitator. 

To enable connection, you will require the following set-up:

- Sufficient internet connection – Zoom is successful on a 4G network. Any network better than 4G will enhance the student’s experience;
- A PC with a web-camera, microphone and the capacity to run the Zoom application to allow the facilitator to better interact with students in the same manner as a traditional classroom; and
- Sufficient sized monitor or screen
