Aspiring Manager

Aspiring managers are employed in the sport and physical activity sector in a team leader, coordinator or supervisor position and do not have management experience or responsibilities in their current role.

  • They may also be a lifeguard, swimming teacher, coach, administrator, gym instructor or in community sport and have aspirations to fulfil management responsibilities in the future.
  • They have been introduced to the key themes and principles of management.
  • They have developed a basic understanding across a range of management related topics which can provide a basis for progression to a managerial role.
  • They have demonstrated skills and show potential to move beyond their current technical role.

 

Professional status

Want to go further in your career and gain the professional recognition that you deserve? Professional status can support you to demonstrate your expertise, plan your development and open up new opportunities in your career. With a title, a digital accreditation credential and postnominals that celebrate your skills and knowledge, professional status is here to release your power.

We don’t currently offer professional status for aspiring managers, but we recommend exploring professional status for managers and leaders to understand how you can progress your career and be recognised for all that you do.
