People management essentials
Full course bundle
The complete, practical people-management course for modern managers
Managing people is one of the hardest parts of running a business, and one of the least supported.
You’re expected to recruit well, handle performance, manage absence, deal with conflict, stay legally compliant, and still hit your business targets. For many managers, it’s learned through pressure, mistakes, and guesswork.
This course changes that.
People Management Essentials is a complete training programme designed to help managers lead with clarity, confidence, and fairness - without HR jargon or legal overwhelm.
