The online Certificate in Management Essentials (CME) provides you with the skills you need to be the best supervisor or manager you can be.
In today's competitive job market, possessing robust management skills is crucial. Employers are on the lookout for individuals who not only excel in their roles but can effectively manage teams and projects. Our CME program equips you with the essential skills to meet these demands, enhancing your marketability and preparing you for advanced career opportunities.
This certificate program is also tailored for flexibility. Whether you're looking to acquire new management skills or focus on improving specific areas, you can customize your learning path by selecting individual courses that address your unique needs.
Begin your CME journey by identifying key areas for development.
This tailored survey will help you determine your current management and leadership abilities and which courses are best suited to enhancing your skills.
MECA evaluates your current confidence level across the management competencies covered in the 18 CME courses. The results provide a global benchmark of your management skills.
After you finish the assessment, you get a printable report of your results, which will assist you in your course selection. Once you complete the certificate program, you can redo the assessment to 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 overestimate skill 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.
The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) Assessment tool is used in the 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 offers suggestions to help you guide your career and become a better manager.
The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) tool is used in the MGT 2003 course, Leadership vs. Management. This tool measures 11 patterns of interpersonal behaviour that tend to appear when you are stressed, tired, or distracted so they can be better managed.
You can register for courses individually at $295 per course or opt for the entire certificate program for a total of $2,950.
We recommend starting with the foundational course, MGT 2000 - Leading From Within, as it contains core information important in other courses.
The CME program consists of six mandatory core courses and an additional four elective courses that can be selected from a list of 12. Each course requires approximately 15-18 hours of study time and must be completed within six weeks of registration confirmation.
