Clear guidelines are given on each topic and exercises, case studies, role play, discussions and tutor feedback ensure the necessary skills are practiced. Self-assessment tools are used to help delegates relate the training points to their own team and situation.

The programme starts by identifying the role and responsibilities of the supervisor/team leader and the common problems faced when moving into this role. The difference between team leadership and team management is explored and the factors needed to create an effective team identified.

The course also includes a section on improving personal effectiveness through improving personal efficiency.
