You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course

What this course covers.

People are an organization's most valuable resource, and supervising them well is what this course is built to teach - useful both for someone new to the role and as a review for a seasoned supervisor.

It works through the importance and roles of a supervisor, the attitude the role demands, transitioning into supervision for the first time, and seven distinct supervisory styles - including when and how to use each one.

It closes with the management components that make supervision work day to day: motivation, accountability, recognition, and communication, backed by a comprehensive student manual for future reference.
