‘Personal Skills for the Manager’ Class to Begin
Sept. 9 at Randolph Community College

ASHEBORO, N.C.--Become a certified manager through classes offered at Randolph Community College beginning in September. The Certified Manager exam is offered in cooperation with the Institute of Certified Professional Managers on the campus of James Madison University. The designation of Certified Manager is similar to that of Certified Public Accountant granted to professionals in accounting. To qualify, students must meet minimum professional standards of education, experience, character, and competence.

“Personal Skills for the Manager,” one of three courses designed to help students prepare for the Certified Manager exam, begins Sept. 9 at RCC's Asheboro Campus. This class features a look at the traits individuals need to be successful managers. Students will discuss their roles as a leader, a communicator, a creative person, a decision maker, and a delegator. The class (#0303560) will meet on Tuesdays, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m., Sept. 9 - Nov. 18. The instructor for this class will be John Sigmon. The registration fee is $55, plus approximately $80 for a textbook.

The other two courses, to be offered in January and April, are “Administrative Skills for the Manager” and “Interpersonal Skills for the Manager.” It is strongly recommended that students have three or more years of experience as a supervisor or manager prior to enrolling in these classes. The courses also may be taken for personal and professional development even though you do not plan to take the CM exam.
