Communications Management

Overview

The Communications Management course goes beyond the Introduction and Advanced courses to provide an in-depth analysis covering aspects of business strategy, the communications business issues, communications management issues and future planning.

Although the course covers a number of technical areas, the emphasis is on strategy, management and business objectives and ensuring that an organisation achieves business benefit. The course is ideal for those who are responsible for managing communications strategy or a communications department.  Detailed information on the management of diverse communications resources, budgets and suppliers are included.

In addition, many aspects of managing both voice and data services are covered with the aim of equipping delegates to manage a communications department themselves. Candidates completing this course will have a great deal of knowledge on communications management and technology.

If your responsible for managing communications within your organisation, then this is the course for you.

The course covers management responsibilities in detail from procurement to developing policies and managing IT staff.
