Management

This is a stand-alone programme which is suitable for individuals who wish to develop knowledge and understanding of fundamental principles of management and to apply them in a context relevant to you. It will be suitable for you if you are currently in a management position or if you hope to take up a managerial post in the future. You can also undertake this award if you are not currently in work but would like to develop fundamental management skills e.g. to help you return to the workplace. The benefits of the award are that it will give you the basic tools that you need to function effectively in the managerial roles you will be expected to fulfil. It is a practical award and, wherever possible, learning and assessment will be based on your own experience either as a manager or of being managed. The PDA in Management at SCQF Level 6 is a qualification in its own right but it will also help you to progress to further management awards such as HNC Management.
