Course Outline
Managers have a crucial role to play in language-teaching institutions, and in the course of their day-to-day work they face a range of strategic, professional and logistical challenges. The skills involved in meeting the challenges of the role are manifold, and a skilled manager can have a far-reaching impact on an organization. So what are the skills of effective management, and how can they be developed?
This course covers a range of topics, beginning with an introduction to the topic of management, and then moving on to other relevant areas such as strategic management, team management, performance management, recruitment, the customer journey, managing change, and staff development. Throughout, a practical, skills-building approach is taken, with the objective of helping participants to develop strategies relevant to their own context.
The course will provide participants with food for thought, fresh insights into the topic and opportunities for reflection on their own situation, whether that be in a university, school, or private language school. The course caters to the needs of both experienced language course managers and also those who are new to ELT management – or who are just curious about the topic.

During this course you will:
- explore the challenges of managing an educational organization and identify key skills of effective management
