Operations or Departmental Manager - Level 5
During this programme learners will attend an online workshop and have a one-to-one session with their Management Mentor every six weeks. After each session the learners will need to complete a reflective account looking at what they have taken from the workshop, and how this new knowledge has or could be used within their job role. This will be done using work-based examples and supporting product evidence, which will help build their portfolio and show the candidates’ understanding of the criteria covered in the workshop.
