Learning NewsQA

Key soft skills training courses from leading UK training provider Xpertise have been accredited by the Chartered Management Institute - enabling delegates to qualify for Institute membership.

The Chartered Management Institute-accredited programmes are two of Xpertise's new 'intensive' development and accreditation programmes - the 'Introductory Certificate to Management' and the 'Introductory Certificate to Team Leading'. Xpertise's intensive programmes are modular learning paths aimed at helping individuals become more effective in a range of key management skills.

Bill Walker, Xpertise's commercial director, described the availability of the accredited courses as "another big step forward for Xpertise". "The accreditation of these courses shows the depth of our commitment to the soft skills training market," says Walker. "We have a massive portfolio of soft skills training courses, which we are expanding all the time. Our intensive programmes are a new innovation - and getting Chartered Management Institute accreditation for two of them is a real coup. It shows how good the courses are - helping people achieve membership of a leading management body."

Xpertise acquired soft skills training provider Watermans last year and has successfully integrated the niche training company into its core business - enabling Xpertise to offer one of the widest portfolios of training courses available, covering everything from IT technical training to soft skills training. All of Xpertise's intensive soft skills courses are available now, including the Chartered Management Institute-accredited titles.

"We're building on our phenomenal success in the soft skills arena," concludes Walker. "The Institute's accreditation shows just how much our offerings have matured in the last few years."
