The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course on Building Abilities and Formatting Second Row of Leaders. This course is designed for those who wish to enhance their advanced skills in administrative work within the second line management offices.

The decisions made by senior management offices, company directors, and senior officials cannot achieve their goals unless they are followed up, reviewed, supervised, and monitored by employees in the second line of management. Additionally, new projects and outstanding proposals raised to senior management must go through a phase of study, refinement of the best proposals, and presenting them to leadership, all within the sub-offices, which are considered second-tier management. Therefore, building capacity through the skills of working in these offices and incorporating new technologies has become essential, which will be addressed in this course.

This training program aims to support departments in preparing and developing an efficient and effective second line leadership, enabling gradual replacement of leadership positions. The focus will be on building the capacities of middle management to fill the anticipated gap with trained and prepared personnel for senior leadership roles. This will be done by introducing them to the latest systems, procedures, and the most up-to-date professional developments, ensuring that they are capable of making the right decisions and preparing them for the opportunities in senior management roles.
