Management Development
BTAL is an accredited CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personal Development) centre for competency based qualifications. We have recognised that the most successful organisations are those that take the time to ensure their people are trained, managed and developed effectively.
We work with managers and supervisors to give them the skills they require to develop themselves, as well as mentor, train and assess individuals within your organisation. This ensures that your management team can provide a real difference to raising the quality of training within the workplace.
There are a number of programmes available, which range from certificate level at NVQ Level 3 to NVQ Level 4 that can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. Whatever your needs we can help.
Qualifications
Depending on the level of qualification required we offer a modular approach that focuses on specific subject areas, providing a certificate at each stage, which can provide credits towards an NVQ qualification. Alternatively we can work with an individual, assisting them to achieve NVQ qualifications from the outset.
BTAL recognises that not all individuals need to complete the full NVQ programme; therefore we have developed a series of mini awards with the CIPD. These comprise of NVQ Level 3 units to demonstrate competencies in specific learning areas such as: Mentoring, Coaching,Training and Presenting and providing support to learners.
