Management training is the process of developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours that equips new, aspiring and experienced managers to lead teams and manage organisational processes effectively. It covers essential skills such as leadership, coaching, conflict resolution, performance management, communication, operational skills and emotional intelligence to improve team performance. The goal is to ultimately identify and address skill gaps, develop newly promoted managers, improve team performance and develop confidence. Formats can include in-person workshops, in-house training and online programmes. There are several different accreditation and certification options available. MTD Training are a specialist provider and can offer all these services.
The benefits of management training include increased confidence, clarity of role and skills development for managers. For the team and organisation, the benefits include improved business results, higher morale and increased engagement levels, higher levels of employee satisfaction due to creating a healthy workplace environment aligned to shared goals and improved levels of operational efficiency and productivity.
Here are 16 important training topics for a manager to learn. They cover key soft skills, core management and leadership topics, operational and efficiency skills, team development, and technical topics. Each one will provide the essential knowledge, skills, and behaviour for a manager to excel in their role.Communication SkillsConflict ManagementTime ManagementEffective FeedbackManaging ChangeDecision MakingDelegation SkillsLegal And EthicEquality, Diversity, and InclusionPerformance ManagementCommercial AwarenessEmotional IntelligenceEffective Problem SolvingLeadership DevelopmentCoaching SkillsDigital Literacy
Management training costs vary depending on the format. Open management training courses typically range from £495 to £695 per delegate for a 1 to 2 day course. Bespoke in-house management training is priced based on your requirements. At MTD, our open courses start from £495 + VAT per person and include ILM and CPD accreditation, course materials, lunch, and post-course support.
The two most recognised accreditations for management training in the UK are the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Both provide formal certification that demonstrates the quality and rigour of the training. All MTD management training courses are ILM and CPD accredited.
Yes. In-house management training is one of the most popular options for organisations with multiple managers to develop. MTD delivers bespoke management training at your offices or a venue of your choice, anywhere in the UK. The content is tailored to your team’s specific challenges and objectives.
Most open management training courses run for 1 to 2 days. Management training programmes, which include multiple modules, coaching, and assessments, typically run over 3 to 18 months. The right duration depends on your objectives and the level of your managers.
Management training focuses on the practical skills needed to manage people, processes, and performance – things like delegation, time management, and giving feedback. Leadership training focuses on influence, vision, emotional intelligence, and leading through change. Most managers benefit from both. At MTD, our Essential Management Skills course covers the management fundamentals, and our High-Impact Leadership course builds on those foundations.
