MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 6 What is the CMAE Management Development Programme? In order to supplement the existing skillsets of club managers, the CMAE has developed five classroom-based courses, each of which will be of 5 days duration (Monday to Friday). These courses are: 1. MDP - Part 1 Club Operations 2. MDP - Part 2 Building and Managing the Club Team 3. MDP Golf Operations 4. MDP Food and Beverage Management 5. MDP Strategy and Leadership The first two – CMAE Club Management Parts One and Two – will cover all ten core competencies, to ensure that those who complete these courses will understand the broad range of issues that a club manager must know. The remaining course, MDP Strategy & Leadership, will concentrate on the club manager as a leader and enable attendees to develop their strategic thinking and planning and to equip themselves as leaders in their clubs and in the profession. This pathway therefore will lead club managers from the point at which they enter the profession with some knowledge, through to the outcome where they are well-informed and well-educated club managers. In short, this is a structured and comprehensive education programme for club managers. We foresee club managers perhaps taking one course a year, or every other year, fitting in with the demand
