Certificate in Production Management

 

 

 

Production management is integral to a brand’s image and being responsible for production management is a stimulating and exacting role.
Delegates on the PPA Certificate in Production Management will learn about core production processes. They will be shown ways to improve their ability to make purchasing decisions and how they can meet quality and cost objectives. They will also be given advice on how to respond to developing technology and the demand for sustainability.


Developed for new or aspiring production managers, the certificate provides delegates with an exceptional opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills and become part of an elite group of production professionals. Taking the certificate involves a commitment to 7.5 days’ training over 12 months and participants must also complete an assignment. However, this investment enables delegates to study and learn alongside their peers on modules delivered by industry leaders. When these modules are completed, the result is an industry recognised professional qualification.


Candidates undergo a a thorough assessment process combining short knowledge tests with a written project.

'The PPA certificate in production management is an excellent course - well presented and interesting. It has given me a better understanding of production processes and will undoubtedly help me in my day to day job'
Production manager - Haymarket Business Publications
