ABDO offers management training

The Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO) has encouraged optical professionals to apply for its new management and leadership diploma.

Training is offered in association with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), which also assesses and awards the qualification. The course is a level five qualification and can be completed at either a diploma or certificate level.

ABDO’s sector skills development officer, Nick Walsh, commented: ‘These courses are the ideal step for any manager, whether you are starting out or looking to formalise knowledge gained in practice.’

Students enrolled on the course gain access to the CMI’s online resources, including the ManagementDirect online resource.

Applications for the course close on April 17, 2020. It can be applied for at abdo.org.uk/MLT.
