Aug 20, United Kingdom: The demand for management education is growing worldwide, and the importance of management and leadership knowledge and qualifications for staff at all levels for the vitality and sustainability of ventures is universally accepted.

Traditionally, business has looked to three and four-year university degree programs to meet the development needs of their aspiring and existing managers. What organizations worldwide have realised is that university qualifications are oftentimes neither relevant, practical, or affordable for the organization, and for the individual seeking the BBA or MBA qualifications.

Accredited Manager Qualifications are the affordable and reliable platform for validating the knowledge and competence of an organization’s managers. Available for aspiring and incumbent managers at the 4 main levels of management, first-line through senior executive levels, The Global Institute of Accredited Managers (GIAM) qualifications ensure managers have comparable knowledge to individuals completing costly undergraduate and post-graduate degree programs, while also knowing how to apply their knowledge to real-world business and management challenges.

COST-EFFECTIVE AND TIME-EFFICIENT

GIAM qualifications are both cost-effective and time efficient. GIAM qualifications can be achieved quickly without interrupting the manager’s employment in the workplace. With assessment based on GIAM’s online examinations program, candidates can validate their management and leadership competency quickly, and with minimum time lost to the organization in completing written assignments.

Learning for the qualifications is available online and in blended format through GIAM delivery partners, and costs a fraction of the fees for comparable university qualifications.

THE QUALIFICATION LEVELS

GIAM qualifications are available at four levels:

1. Accredited First-Line Manager Qualifications - for entry level managers, including supervisors and team leaders.

2. Accredited Middle Manager Qualifications – for experienced first-line managers entering middle management.

3. Accredited Senior Manager Qualifications – for experienced middle managers planning to enter senior management roles.

4. Accredited Executive Manager Qualifications – the postgraduate qualification for senior managers entering executive (C-level) positions.

A Brisbane holistic life coach/ author is a finalist in two of the 2020 AusMumpreneur Awards for the great work she does helping mothers and children overcome education hurdles and challenges.

Heidi Conway, of Chuwar, known as The Changemaker Mum, has made the finals of the Big Idea and Making a Difference in Education categories in the national awards.

She designs coaching and training programs for homeschool and traditional based learners with the aim of revolutionising education within families so that learning and earning come with ease.

“I’m so excited to support other mums as they are life shapers of our future generations,” Mrs Conway said.

“By discovering the genius of every family member and my 10 keys of global change, families have hope for the future.

“Imagine how the world will change for the better if our children get to live their purpose with ease just because their mums influenced them in discovering their genius and creating an environment of open communication.”

Mrs Conway said she helped mothers build belief in their own abilities and confidence as they guide their children towards a life filled with success and happiness.

“Mothers need to be happy and live on purpose to show their children it’s possible,” she said.

Her Changemaker Mums coaching program helps mothers find their genius and inspires them to create a powerful homeschooling environment where their children love learning.

The AusMumpreneur Awards, presented by The Women’s Business School, celebrates and recognises Australian mums in business achieving outstanding success in areas such as business excellence, product development, customer service and digital innovation. 

The awards are designed to recognise the growing number of women who successfully balance motherhood and business in a way that suits their life and family. 

It can be challenging to be a successful business woman while raising a family and Mrs Conway advises others thinking about starting their own enterprise to be aware of what they love and don’t love doing so they can find their flow and create the life of their dreams.

“All it takes for change to happen is for one person to stand up and say, ‘I’ll be it. I’ll be the change - that is me’,” she said.

The winners of the 2020 AusMumpreneur Awards will be announced at an online event in September.
