Executive course: What are the main disadvantages?

After a management course, you will be in a position to take on a management position or to fulfill your role as a manager even better in everyday life. You will have improved self-management, employee development and leadership skills such as situational communication, conflict resolution, appraisal interviews and team motivation. They control group dynamic processes in a targeted manner and recognize role patterns. Exchanging ideas with one another is also beneficial for everyone.

The main disadvantages of an executive course are:

  1. The qualification awarded after a leadership course is not a federal diploma, but a school-specific certificate or diploma. The industry certificate Leadership SVF, for example, is an intermediate qualification on the way to the professional examination for management specialists with a federal certificate.
  2. At certificate level, the course content and admission requirements are generally not regulated and can be determined autonomously by the schools. However, in the case of association qualifications such as ASFL, SVBL, VPS, vse, veb, OdA, H+ Bildung, Swissmem or swiss export etc., there are regulations and, as a rule, corresponding recognition in the industry.
  3. A management position does not only have advantages. You are responsible for the entire department and are under pressure. Due to the higher position, integration into the team is often more difficult than expected. In addition, there is usually overtime and less free time. Self-criticism and self-confidence are required. You spend more time on planning and strategic tasks.
  4. Even after the management course, the learning doesn't stop: If you want to work as a qualified manager, for example in department management, you should ideally complete the professional examination for management specialists or a higher professional examination in the field of activity. Incidentally, only those who pass a federal examination can benefit from federal contributions towards the training costs.

 

As a manager, you will work as a team leader or department head in lower to middle management positions in companies of various sizes and in different professional fields.
