Effective management leads to greater productivity
Our EDI Business Management Certificate is ideal if you’re seeking an entry level management role, or looking to develop proven organisational skills as an employee or small business owner. The course will teach you to efficiently manage your own time and the workflow of other team members, leading to a more positive and profitable working environment.
Develop your understanding of a manager's role
The syllabus covers a variety of topics including the legal requirements when recruiting employees, techniques for retaining and parting with staff, and how to monitor and review performance. You will also learn about best practice in developing personnel and defining equal opportunities legislation.
I gained my EDI certifcate in Business Management through Home Learning College and found the course very informative. The student area was also very useful to reference and check with other students which questions were causing problems. I would recommend this course as the questions and exercises make you think about your role as a manager."
