The Developing Managers Programme (DMP) was launched in 1995 in response to a demand from business for a management development initiative targeted specifically at middle/aspiring senior managers. Since then some 19 programmes have since taken place. In this time, more than 300 managers have participated, with the programme having received a Regional Training Award for excellence.
The course is specifically geared towards Northern Ireland middle/aspiring senior managers who, as part of their personal development, are keen to pursue a management qualification as well as benefit from a practically orientated management programme. The programme is relevant for those who do not have a specific academic background in management, as well as for those who wish to develop their existing management skills.
The programme ris now recruiting and runs from February 2008 until November 2008, with Graduation being held in July 2009. Workshops will be held in the Jordanstown Campus on a part-time basis (2 days per month) and will involve elements of theory, case studies, benchmarking, as well as a high degree of class participation and interaction. Classes start at 09.30 and finish around 16.30.
A one-week residential will also be held in Boston, incorporating lectures in Boston College, as well visits to a number of North America’s leading organisations.
The programme is structured around six modules: leadership and team building, managing people, finance, marketing, business excellence, and strategic planning. The programme does not have exams, but you are required to complete six work based assignments of approximately 1500 – 2000 words. Successful completion of the programme leads to the award of the Advanced Diploma in Management Practice. The qualification carries 120 CATS points.
The total time commitment is therefore 13 days in Jordanstown and one week in Boston, together with independent study time.
Thanks to a DEL bursary the cost of the course is reduced from £3950 to £2450 for small voluntary and community organisations.
