BCSC RESPONDS TO TRAINING NEEDS OF SHOPPING CENTRE MANAGEMENT BY LAUNCHING REGIONAL TRAINING COURSES
In response to demand from shopping centre managers, BCSC has launched a series of regional one-day training courses. The short courses cover specific topics such as business management, security and marketing. The courses have been designed to provide highly targeted training to enhance skills and improve technical knowledge amongst management professionals.
To encourage attendance, reduce transport costs and time away from work, each course will be taught in the following regions: Scotland, Northern, Midlands, London/SE, West and Ireland. The 2001 Shopping Centre Management Conference in association with The College of Estate Management, will be an integral part of the series.
The courses have been designed following a lengthy dialogue with management professionals, who identified a requirement for more training aimed at centre managers and management professionals. The short courses have been designed to be used in addition to the existing BCSC Diploma by distance learning, which currently provides an excellent foundation for management professionals.
Commenting of this new initiative, Francis Ives, president of BCSC said:
"We are continually looking at ways to improve levels of training, as well as methods to provide practical advice which will increase levels of professionalism within the industry.
We have identified a clear demand for highly targeted training, which can be easily introduced into the busy lives of professional centre managers. We will aim to continually improve and revise our offer in response to members' requests. We hope that the extensive regional coverage will mean that everyone who wishes to attend courses will be given the opportunity".
The course fees will be in the region of £150 - £200 with a discount for attending more than one course.
