Developing your staff

The Professional and Management Development Centre (PMDC) at Loughborough University Business School runs a management development course specifically tailored for the sporting goods, play, leisure and outdoors sectors.

Founded on Loughborough’s superlative reputation in sport and fitness – coming first in the UK for sport and recreation in The Independent’s June 2008 University league table - our Postgraduate Certificate in Management and Leadership (FSPA) offers your members the opportunity to:

• Realise the full potential of staff members;
• Develop management skills while providing a recognised University qualification; and
• Enhance staff retention and growth.

The programmes are part time and will normally extend over a period of 16 to 18 months. They involve a combination of 2 day taught modules, which need to be attended at the Professional & Management Development Centre in the Business School at Loughborough University, distance learning and work based assignments and projects.

CERTIFICATE IN MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP - The programme will particularly benefit experienced, first line managers and will provide a route to a Postgraduate Diploma in Management and Leadership. Students should have approximately 18 months experience in a first-line management role.

DIPLOMA IN MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP – The Diploma programme is designed for middle managers and will provide a sound basis for those seeking to extend their studies to MSc and MBA. Students should have approximately 3 years experience in a middle management role.

MSC IN MANAGEMENT – Diploma graduates may extend their qualifications to MSc via a supervised work-based dissertation.
