Case Study
"I have learnt so much on this course from the use of SMART targets and monitoring objectives, to managing conflict in the workplace and looking into different leadership styles. For me the most valuable thing I have learnt is about the recruitment process. This was something I had never experienced before, but it was one of my career goals. After learning about recruitment on the study days I was lucky enough to be given the responsibility to recruit a new member of the team. This was something I would have never been able to do if it wasn’t for this course. This course has given me the confidence and knowledge to progress forward to try and be the best I can for my team." - Level 3 ILM student (2020) Read the full case study
