Pitchcare is pleased to announce that it will be running its successful 'Essential Management Skills' course at various locations in Autumn/Winter 2007.
The first course is to be held at Leicester Tigers Rugby Club on Thursday 15th November 2007 and Thursday 21st February 2008. The cost is £295.00 plus VAT and includes two days training, course notes, all refreshments and a hot lunch.
The course is delivered by trainer and careers counsellor Frank Newberry. Frank, a regular contributor to the Pitchcare magazine, has trained Groundsmen and Greenkeepers for more than 15 years and this course is aimed at helping those in a supervisory or management position to acquire a range of vital management skills and put them into practice successfully in the workplace.
A course itinerary is shown below. Three months separate the two days so delegates have the opportunity to implement new techniques and then feed their experiences back to the group.
