Level 3 Certificate in Principles of Management
Course Description
A Manager is the person responsible for planning and directing the work of a group of individuals, monitoring their work, and taking action when necessary. For many people, this is their first step into a more detailed management career.
Managers may manage workers directly or they may manage several team leader who, in turn, manage the workers. The manager must be familiar with the work of all the groups he/she supervises, but does not need to be the best in any or all of the areas.
