Success so far

This is now the second year of the Management Development Programme.

In the first year, 176 managers and over 110 organisations participated in 12 programmes at three management levels.

Individuals and organisations are already testifying to an improvement in management practice in their workplace with a noticeable difference in supervision methods, strategic planning and procedures.

“The training has helped (our organisation) to improve and learn new management techniques, attitudes and skills – a great improvement to the way we used to work”.
