Ascent Level 3 - First Line Management

Become a First Line Manager

If you want to become a first line manager and develop your management know-how, or simply want to gain formal recognition for a position you already hold, our Level 3 Award in First Line Management can help.

As well as earning you a recognised award from the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM), a Level 3 Award will provide you with a career development plan and equip you with skills valued by employers, including:

• managing yourself and your time
• solving problems and making decisions
• understanding how teams are formed
• motivating yourself and others
• workplace communication
• giving briefings and making presentations
• conflict resolution
• assertiveness
• managing stress and your work/life balance
• diversity in the workplace

Course of Study

With full tutorial support, you will attend an informative and interactive 6-day course. The course will be held at an accessible venue, normally running between 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, and participation is fully funded by the European Social Fund and Welsh Assembly Government at no cost to you.

There are no formal entry requirements.

Where next?

With our guidance and continued support, those gaining the Level 3 Award can complete further Ascent training modules, join the Ascent Development and Mentoring programme, and then progress to other training providers for further qualifications - such as National vocational qualifications (NVQs) in Management.

So, if you want to improve your management skills and employment prospects, please contact your local office.
