Hi Guys,

Wasnt to sure where I should post this, but hey can't hurt to ask the community...

Basically my boss wants me to do some courses in Management. Not a uni degree because obviously it would take to long and keep me out of work for awhile.

Anyone here know of or can recommend somewhere decent to do the course?

I was looking at the Australian Institute of Management and obviously TAFE but not to sure.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers,

Mitch

Mitch, i recently did my Diploma of management through the Local Government Training Institute (LGTI) and it had one of those government rebates so it only cost $600 or something rather than $4k, i assume this is the sort of course you are looking to do?

The course for me was awesome, was relevant to my new position at work and has helped me greatly.....

The course was a little rushed as it was done over 7 months instead of 12 but the amount learnt was brilliant!

thanks for the replies, will have a good look at them.

Should have given some back ground information. I work for the family in a shopfitting company as I dont have a trade, i think they want me to learn the other side of the coin so to say to help them out with running everything else, if that makes sense.

Same sort of thing as me mate, family business and I needed to step up and manage staff... The courses are great if you get the right one, I was pretty happy with mine....

Worth the money in the long run and the business can claim it anyway

My family business had NO structure until I did this course, it is really really helpful if you apply yourself and if your teacher was like ours, you basically got your workplace and took it to class

I've done a few management/manager courses through work. I'm in Victoria so can't help you out.

But to be honest, most of the courses I have attended I didn't get much out of and to be honest where just common sense.

A lot of management is common sense, but it is surprising how many lack common sense and basic management ingunity and end up with high turnovers, upset clients and failed plans. Management courses are for teaching you the philosphy of management the do's and dont. Project management is very good start i did that last semester as part of my global supply chain and logistic course. You get the most learning out of case studies imo reflects reality rather then raw info, best to always try and translate how what you learnt will work in real life.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
