However, they are often unable to effectively supervise their workforce.

This program consists of six one-day workshops, including three required seminars and three electives chosen from a number of offerings. The program is offered in Portsmouth and in Manchester. You are required to complete the program within two years. For those wishing to complete the program sooner, sufficient topics are offered each year.
