JTA-005 Effective Supervisor

Supervising a team is a challenging role, and it looks different in every business. In most workplaces the supervisor oversees the work the business produces, makes sure new employees are trained to do their jobs well, gives performance reviews, and creates and implements rosters. The JTA-005 Effective Supervisor short course helps supervisors become more efficient and confident, with practical guidance on delegating, managing time, setting goals and expectations, providing feedback, resolving conflict and administering discipline. Delivered 100% online by Job Trainer Australia (RTO 45742), it takes about an hour, and you receive a Certificate of Completion as soon as you finish.
