Essential Training for New IT Managers in Education

Stepping into a managerial role can be both exciting and daunting, especially in the fast-paced world of business and educational IT. At Mackworth Consultancy, I recognise that newly promoted IT managers often face a steep learning curve, left to navigate their new responsibilities with little guidance. That's why I offer specialised training courses designed to equip First Time Managers with the skills and knowledge they need to excel from day one.
