Leadership & Management Practice in Construction
2 DAY COURSE
Introduction
The purpose of this 2 day Leadership & Management Practice in Construction course is to develop knowledge and understanding of using leadership and management skills to ensure safety and quality requirements and appropriate standards of behaviour are met, when achieving project and work plans, as required by a practising or potential Team Leader or Site Supervisor.
We (and CITB) recognise that many good, skilled workers are often promoted to supervisory positions without any formal leadership or management training. This course is an excellent first step for those about to assume such responsibilities and is designed to ensure that people taking on such roles are equipped with the knowledge and skills to assume those responsibilities.
