The Manager Programme
For new registered managers, and for current managers who want proof that the basics are routine. A half-day workshop, a 27-sheet workbooklet worked in their own home, and three reviews with their RI.
Twelve weeks
Two routes, one standard
Current managers score their starting point with their RI. Any area scoring low is completed in full; strong areas are signed off as already evidenced. Everyone ends with the same record.
