"KCA Deutag identified that their competency programmes and accredited learning needs were a key part of their business development plan and an offshore system was developed. As no programme existed from an onshore perspective, I was introduced to accredited learning through NEBS Management qualifications, now Institute of Leadership and Management qualifications (ILM) and Shirley Henderson was a tutor/assessor for my Diploma in Management. This programme was progressional from a Certificate in Management to a Diploma in Management.
This Continuing Professional Development has allowed me to develop my personal and organisational management skills. It has formalised all that I had learned in the field and focused it to a level, that in retrospect, would not have been possible had I not taken part in accredited learning. Shirley not only offers the expert tuition required to attain the requisite levels but, also, brings a very positive drive towards learning and accomplishing goals and objectives within the numerous training programmes.
My perspective of learning and development has changed from where a point where I thought I knew my business to a realisation and acceptance that there are many avenues to develop both personally and professionally and, where possible, all levels of staff concerned should be encouraged to do so. This success in turn has led my company to recognise the need for and investing in a training programme for developing managers." |
