MANAGEMENT COURSES:

We have devised a one-day Management Techniques course which will allow managers to learn about basic managements techniques (please see below) from one of the foremost experts in the field - Paul Thompson.

Whilst the subject cannot be covered in its entirety in a single day, the course is designed to provide sufficient knowledge to cover the vast majority of management challenges.

The pilot course was held in London on Tuesday 8 April 2008 and proved to be very popular.  Further courses are arranged from time to time.  If you wish to express an interest in attending a course please contact us.
