Who this course is for:

If you will be promoted to manager in the near future, just got promoted to your first management position or have been a manager for say 1-2 years, then this course is intended for you.
This is a new manager training for developers, designers and others. It is not limited to a certain industry or occupation.
No prior management or leadership knowledge is required.
If you have been a manager for more than 2 years and have attended several other courses on management and leadership then this course is probably not for you. Or if you are looking for a course on how to create an engaging slideshow presentation or how to plan the budget of a project, then it is not for you either.
