Management & Leadership Programmes
Our experience of delivering Management and Leadership apprenticeships has shown that people are looking to develop their skills, knowledge and behaviours in the key areas of people management, project management and operational management.
We use learning from The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) to upskill learners in these key areas to provide professional development opportunities to managers in the sport and physical activity sector.

Who is CMI Training for?
We offer Management and Leadership training at two levels to reflect development needs at different points in a manager’s career:

Aimed at practising or aspiring managers who supervise or manage a team, or project officer and shift managers to achieve clearly defined outcomes. They will set and monitor goals and objectives by providing instruction, direction and guidance. Day to day operational and project activities are a key part of their role.
