Karen Ardley Associates have partnered with TFL Education to offer School Principals and Headteachers an accredited route to the prestigious award of Chartered Manager. The award is the highest status that can be achieved in management and leadership and is recognised throughout the public and private sectors and across all management disciplines as a mark of excellence.
This two-day Chartered Manager programme provides the opportunity for you to reflect on the practical application of your skills to create impact within your school, and evaluates your expertise in leading people and managing change. During the two days there will be inputs on outstanding leadership research and practices, coaching on your strategic priorities and objectives, support and guidance from a Royal Chartered Management Institute Advisor and Assessor, time to complete the first draft of your Chartered Manager written submission and opportunities to network with fellow professionals.
