New First Line Managers in the making

13 participants from 8 organisations across Northern Ireland have begun the 2011 spring session of Institute of Management and Leadership (ILM) level 3 in First Line Management (FLM) as part of the Reaching Communities NI Support and Development Programme funded by The Big Lottery Fund.

This ten week programme has been designed specifically for the voluntary and community sector. It includes current management theories and practical tools and gives an overview of management, providing a stepping stone to other qualifications.

“We were able to build networks and relationships with organisations that we might not have had access to before the programme.” Jolena Flett, NICEM
“Managing staff, conflict and managing change - I've put a lot of what I learnt in these sessions into practice already.” Teresa Livingstone, Something Special

Over the last three years, 89 people have participated in the First Line Management programme, which runs three times during the year.  We are currently recruiting for the October intake.

A key element of the programme is to meet and work alongside other voluntary and community groups and this has proven a hit with all the participants in each First Line Management course.

Hi,

I was wondering could you provide me details of your level 5 course in Leadership & Management. I would like to take part in the course but I need to know is there any other course providers within Northern Ireland. Would you know this information?

Thank you
