Programme information
The Passport to Management Excellence is an award winning learning opportunity which enables new, existing, and aspiring managers to participate in a structured programme of development. Evaluation of the programme indicates benefits in the following areas:
- Develop new skills in a range of related areas
- Feel confident and competent when managing teams and individuals
- Network with other managers
- Build on existing skills and knowledge
- Experience a wide range of development activities
- Choose own direction by selecting a tailored learning programme
- Complete in 30 months
Participants with approval from their own line manager are invited to apply. They will then work through a series of core and role-specific workshops at their own pace, as well as being supported by online resources and optional further learning and networking opportunities. Participants who have already received training and development in a specific area can be given accreditation. Upon completion of the programme, participants will then choose if they would like to receive an ILM Recognised or In-House certificate.
The aim of the programme is that, over time, managers will feel more confident and develop their own expertise within their management role. With assured and assertive management skills, managers will find their teams are more easily managed and can expect improved performance.
Objectives
- Enable Managers to feel confident and competent when managing their teams.
- Encourage participants to work cross-functionally and understand that they are part of a wider management group across the organisation
