Course Details:

Who is this course for?

For anyone who is unhappy or unfulfilled in their present job.

This extremely practical course recognizes that more than 75% of people are dissatisfied with their work.

Such people:

  • see no meaning in their work.
  • feel they have been there and done that.
  • are bored and feel they have lost their drive and ambition.
  • have a desire to start their own business.
  • are thinking about part-time or voluntary work.

This course helps you to identify which category you fall into and shows you how to make the most of your working life with career assessment quizzes and personality exercises.

You will learn how to objectively, discover the kind the work you are most suited for, and find out how to make change happen. The course is an invaluable resource for anyone feeling unhappy with their work and needing the make a change.

Course structure:

The course has 8 lessons that are divided into three segments:

  1. Determining exactly where you are now.
  2. Examining in a realistic way where you want to be, and
  3. Helping you to get there.

Your own personally appointed tutor will provide you with expert guidance and tuition throughout your studies.

Course Materials

On enrolment a study guide, the first two lessons and assignments are supplied. All subsequent lessons and assignments are remitted on receipt of completed assignments.


Accreditation

When you have completed this course you may take a final examination. Full details of this examination are automatically sent to you as you near the end of the course. The examination costs €65 and is taken at home at your convenience.  If you receive 70% or more in this examination you will receive an ITEC Diploma.

Personality/Intelligence Test

All our students have the option to take this revealing test for an additional cost of €25.00.

The test asks questions to determine:

  • Are you a 'Take-Charge' type?
     
  • Are you a manipulative person?
     
  • Are you a real friend when the going gets rough?
     
  • How popular are you?
     
  • Could you be your own boss?
     
  • What's your leadership potential?

The objective is not only to help you achieve greater personal and professional success - but to show you how to get what you really want out of life.

Management/Leadership Skills Test

All students of this course have the option to take a Management/Leadership Test for an additional cost of €50.00. This test is conducted on our behalf by Verax international. This test has to be taken on line and the results will be sent directly to each student by email usually within 3/4 working days.

We urge you to complete this test as it will provide you with invaluable help and guidance in enabling you to get the most out for your learning. The assessment sent to you when you complete the test will not count in any way to your eventual qualification. It is intended to enable you to understand your strengths and weaknesses and so concentrate on those parts of the course that are most valuable to you.

You may think that you are already aware of these. However, systematic research shows that just over half the population are unaware of their real strengths, let alone their real weaknesses.

This test provides you with a systematic way of assuring these for yourself. Answer honestly. There are no right or wrong answers. Only you will see the results.

The test will allow you to assess your own performance against 16 key management/leader competencies - such as customer focus, decision making, creativity and team working - which are valued by employers and which are very important for effective performance as a manager or team leader. There is one test for managers in the public sector and a separate test for all other managers. Depending on which version chosen, your performance is benchmarked either against 15,000 or so managers in the database or against public sector managers only.

In summary, this unique test will show you what to stop doing (or do less of) and what to start doing (or do more of) in order to become more effective in your current role/activity. In effect, you are told what you need to do to become a more effective manager and team leader and most important of all, how to do it.

Good luck with your studies.
