The National Federation of Voluntary Bodies has developed a comprehensive training programme for Front Line Managers in the intellectual disability sector.  Nine successful cycles of the programme have now been run to date in the University of Limerick with very positive feedback from programme participants.  The programme is seen as being central in building the capacity of Front Line Managers to lead the development and implementation of excellent person centred services and supports.  The Programme will also assist organisations in meeting obligations outlined in the HIQA Regulations / Standards, particularly those related to the provision of accredited training for new managers of front-line staff and supervisory (theory and practice) training for managers.

The National Federation of Voluntary Bodies is again running a further Front Line Managers Training Programme which will commence in September 2018 and run over 10-days.  The Front Line Manager Training Programme (Certificate in Management) is a Level 6 Award on the National Framework of Qualifications (60 ECTS Credits).  Please find attached flyer, brochure and booking form for your information.
