The online Certificate in Management Essentials (CME) provides the skills you need to be the most complete supervisor, manager or leader of people you can be. This program is completely online and self-paced so you can stay competitive regardless of your location and schedule. Designed by subject matter experts, the curriculum has been reviewed and approved by the University of New Brunswick Senate.
CME is a convenient way to gain the essential skills necessary to enter into and succeed in a management/supervisory career. It is also a cost-effective way for employers to develop their people.
One of the advantages of the CME program is the assessment tools built into the courses.
To help you determine where your current management and leadership abilities stand (and which electives you may want to select), each student is encouraged to complete the Management Essentials Competency Assessment (MECA).
This competency assessment evaluates your current confidence level across the management competencies covered in the 18 courses available through the CME program. The results provide a global benchmark of your management skills. Upon completion of the assessment, you will get a printable report of your self-evaluation that will assist you in your course selection. Once you complete the CME program, you can redo the assessment to help measure your progress and support you in developing your future learning plan.
We suggest that you share your assessment results with your manager and/or HR. It is not uncommon for self-raters to under- or over-estimate skills sets, so a third party who knows you can assist in uncovering blind spots. This tool can help align your professional development with your organization’s performance management framework.
If you already have some management skills, you can customize this program to focus on your skills and knowledge gaps by taking individual courses instead of the entire certificate.
The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) Assessment tool is used in the CCME 1000/MGT 2000 course, Leading from Within. This tool measures how you behave in day-to-day life when you are at your best. This assessment raises your level of self-awareness by highlighting specific areas of strengths and weaknesses and offer suggestions to help you guide your career and become a better manager.
The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) tool is used in the CCME 1003/MGT 2003 course, Leadership vs. Management. This tool measures 11 patterns of interpersonal behavior that tend to appear when you are stressed, tired, or distracted. The HDS highlights these tendencies so that they can be better managed.
There are no prerequisites for this program. It's open to everyone.
Today's employers want team members who are good at their jobs, and that means you. But a lack of necessary skills or experience may cause them to look elsewhere. UNB's CME program can help give you the skills you need to manage effectively and provide you with a competitive edge.
