What does office management entail?
Office management broadly covers the activities which are involved in the everyday running of an office. Regardless of the size of the of the organisation; although roles will vary, the principles generally remain the same. Elements include, timekeeping, delegation, computer management and financial awareness.
There are thousands of office management and office admin jobs currently available in the city of Birmingham. Britain's move away from manufacturing towards a service and technological economy has created a demand for well trained professionals in this area. A skill vacuum exists which is open for the qualified participants of the training courses in England's second city to fill.
Office Management Training Contents
Most of the introductory training courses are short. For example Time Management courses can be taken in a half day or Key Management Skills over one or two days. These courses can be used as a stand alone refresher or a starting point for a more in depth and broad education in office management. Introductory courses are ideal for already employed office juniors to improve or for those seeking to have that extra edge to their C.V.
Trainers in Birmingham offer routes toward highly respected NVQ qualifications in office management, such as the Levels 1 to 4 Certificate or Diploma in Business administration. A delegate with no experience can begin this route at the beginning; however those with adequate office experience can enter in to this further down the road, possibly in conjunction with the paid work they are already doing.
Specialised modules to suit everyone
Training providers in Birmingham ensure that all of their tutors are experienced and able to deliver their content in an accessible and engaging manner. The available courses are diverse and will train the delegates in everything from basic customer services and time management, to more complex areas such as risk and sustainability monitoring and analysis.
The modes of delivery available in Birmingham are as varied as the courses themselves, with options for, distance learning, public learning, in-house, company tailored and open forum events. The stated outcomes are all the same; to provide participants of all ages and levels of experience with the training, skills and confidence they require to be successful in progressing or beginning their career.
In collaboration with MPW Learning, a programme called ‘Leadership Pathway Programme’ was designed to bring all of the skills of a large high street charity organisation management team up to date. After introduction of the programme, common working practices were restructured, productivity increased and management satisfaction improved.
