You already hold a position as a manager or are soon aiming for a career in management? Either way, your tasks in the executive suite are not comparable to those of a team member. In a management position, you will have completely different To Do’s. These include tasks in personnel management and strategic planning. You will also analyze and interpret business contexts and use them to derive action requirements for your management area. Not everyone is born with these professional skills. That’s why we recommend further training in management and leadership. This prepares you optimally for your new tasks in the management ranks of your company.
It is learnable to be a boss. And that’s exactly what the course, in which you acquire the SVF Management Certificate, is geared towards. By the way, the abbreviation SVF stands for the Swiss Association for Management Training, which has been committed to contemporary management training for over 20 years. For this purpose, SVF has developed a special certificate and a special certificate course in management. The content is taught in modules on various key topics. The Swiss Association for Leadership Training takes around 9,000 exams per year. The SVF Certificate in Management is a recognized management education and is welcomed by many companies. With an SVF certificate in management, you immensely strengthen your chances of a successful career on the management floor of a company.
When you successfully complete the SVF Certificate in Management, you prove that you have intensively dealt with essential topics for a management task. You have demonstrable business knowledge, know-how in the field of human resources management and relevant knowledge in project management. Furthermore, the SVF Certificate in Management certifies relevant experience in the management of processes and in the accounting of a company. With this expertise, you are perfectly equipped for the multi-faceted everyday life of a manager.
The SVF management certificate can be obtained online without any problems. Online training in the field of management comes with several advantages for learners. For example, learning content can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and easily integrated into your daily work routine. Simply learn when it suits you best and, for example, use idle time in your everyday working life for your further training in the field of management. Another advantage is that the online training is very varied. It uses a wide variety of learning methods. For example, it includes video training, webinars, one-on-one coaching, learning together with other participants in a virtual classroom, and even playful quizzes. This makes continuing education fun.
The course to obtain the SVF certificate in management is designed to be completed on a part-time basis. It leads to the federal certificate in one to three semesters. Admitted are professionals with a recognized teaching qualification or with several years of professional and management experience.
In addition to management training, the Swiss Association for Leadership Development also offers leadership training. This comprises seven core topics, which are also taught in separate modules. Each module you pass is also certified individually here. The topics cover the following areas: Oral Communication, Written Communication, Conflict Management, Presentation, Self-Knowledge, Self-Management, and Leading a Team or Group. However, the training does not include further training in case management.
Yes, there is. If you would like to obtain both certificates in the area of management and leadership and then work as a manager for a year, you can take the next step and tackle the examination to become a management specialist with a federal certificate. This requires successful completion of the SVF Leadership and Management modules.
