About this course

Management and leadership are companions in the delivery of high-quality education and care service provision. This program has been designed to strengthen the management capability of service managers—helping them to build their skills, knowledge and confidence to meet their day-to-day responsibilities in whatever service or organisation type they work in. The courses in the ECA Management Fundamentals Program will build on the strengths that education and care professionals bring to their management role and ensure they are prepared to take on other roles across the scope of the education and care sector. The diversity of settings and roles has brought about different levels of management responsibility and obligations to those in governance roles, owners, staff, communities and the sector.

By completing this course, participants will be able to apply the following learning outcomes:

  • explain the purpose of management
  • recognise an education and care service as a business in a complex sector
  • identify key functions and systems of management
  • recognise management concepts in the education and care service context
  • understand more recent approaches to managing organisations.
