Costs: £165.00 per delegate per day (Total Cost for 2 Day Workshop is £330 +VAT) **£30.00 early booking discount per delegate available on this programme**
What is this programme about?
Our most popular programme is in the process of being completely re-written and accredited as a Level 2 Qualification! Candidates will be introduced to the concept of effective time management and learn the 10 most common time wasters. They will then identify work and personal goals for which they will use the extra time this programme will generate for them, before being introduced to a technique for accurately analysing how they currently utilise their time. This session concludes with an opportunity for candidates to reflect upon the purpose of their role and where, ideally, their time should be focussed. Next the workshop will focus on the benefits of planning to become more time effective and will cover a number of simple prioritisation techniques for candidates to build into their planning strategies. Candidates will then cover delegation and empowerment and discover when – and when not – to use them as part of their time management practices. Candidates will then be introduced to how stress prevents effective time management and then the facilitator will cover dozens and dozens of practical techniques and strategies to reduce workplace stress and manage everything from the telephone, the desk, the filing cabinet, emails and post, as well as how to read and write more effectively. The facilitator will then guide candidates through a series of techniques to reduce the key time waster – meetings. Delegates will learn how to cope with interruptions, how to be more assertive and even how to manage the boss! Finally, a strategy will be introduced to turn the everyday diary - whether paper or electronic - into a highly effective daily time management tool.
Who is this programme aimed at?
Each day consists of 86,400 seconds! Why is it that some people can run large companies or even countries within that time - whilst others seem to get bogged down in the simplest of jobs! This Introductory Certificate in Effective Time Management - Level 2 aims to increase a candidate’s capacity to deal with an ever increasing and diverse workload by developing numerous strategies to manage their time to maximise effectiveness and productivity. Success at time management will increase the health and well being of all employees enabling organisations to achieve their objectives both today and in the longer term. And with only 12 candidates allowed on each programme you’ll get plenty of attention and time to get the most from the qualification.
How is this programme delivered?
Punctually of course! You’ll get two consecutive days consisting of seven 50 minute sessions each day. No PowerPoint slides and no boring lectures - this is no “chalk and talk”!
