Time Management and Personal Organisation
Employers notice time habits from your very first day. The person who arrives on time, knows what they are doing next, meets deadlines and doesn't lose papers is trusted with more responsibility. The person who is often late, forgets tasks and misses deadlines is noticed for the wrong reasons, however talented they are. This course teaches you to see where your time really goes, plan a day and a week, decide what matters most, deal with interruptions, be punctual even with long and unpredictable travel, break big tasks down so that you meet deadlines, use a calendar and reminders properly, and keep your workspace, files and documents organised. The course is fully online and self-paced. Each lesson has a short activity in your workbook. You finish with a practical task and a final assessment, and you receive a MetaCo Certificate of Completion that you can add to your CV.
