About Our Course
Are you a business owner looking to improve your management skills? Or is your business struggling to handle external changes? Our Business Management and Change Management Level 3 course bundle can provide you with the tools, the knowledge and the resources to effectively manage a team; positively engage with change, and recognise the different ways change can affect a person.
This fascinating homebased course covers all of the bases.
From showing you how to understand change and the best ways to help people with different personalities/characteristics (so they can contribute positivity to change), to learning how to plan, manage and change a project; by the end of this two year course, you will recognise the difference between change and transitions, and will be able to confidently introduce/lead your team through any significant changes that your business may face.
At the same time, you will:
- Be shown how to explore change within today’s organisations
- Be able to apply personality profiling to your staff, making it easier for you to identify different personality types, and tailor the way you implement change so everyone reacts positively
- Be able to explain why some people experience change differently to others
And you can achieve all of this from the comfort of your own home! No classes. No exams. No strict deadlines.
You can explore this homebased course on your own terms, and experience minimal impact to your work, family or social obligations. In fact, you can easily mould this flexible course to work around you, enabling you to study as fast or as slow as you want.
No matter your study preferences, YOU will be in control of how you learn – no one else.
