- Participants will also have telephone and e-mail support available from the Course Director
Participants complete:
- 4x 1,500 word business reviews/action plans (approx 2 sides of A4) on the subjects covered at the workshop specific to your business. These are returned to the Course Director for learning evaluation and feedback
- ‘Accelerate Report’. A 5,000 word report on a review of your business and make recommendations for moving the business forward. The content of the report must reflect the core elements of the drive level 2 programme. This is then submitted to the Course Director for review and feedback. Participants then make a 10 minute presentation and face 10 minutes of questioning at the Accelerate Presentation and Graduation event.
- The programme requires participants to read three management and personal development books as part of the programme knowledge requirement. Books will be determined by Screen WM and Mcphedran Co Uk prior to the marketing of any new drive scheme.
