If you are new to supervision or management (or leading projects or some day hope to), NMA classes will help ensure that you have the skills you need to be successful. Ten ‘Introduction to Supervision’ classes will cover management principles, leadership, and business concepts, plus will help you become more effective in working with employees. It is possible to take the whole series or pick classes that focus on specific skills that you want to improve.

Certified Manager sessions cover Administrative, Interpersonal, and Personal Skills. Obtaining the designation as a Certified Manager follows successfully passing three tests.	Personal Skills for the Manager Interpersonal Skills for the Manager Administrative Skills for the Manager
Brown bag lunch classes will focus on skills that you can use at work, home or in community activities. Classes planned include stress management, managing multiple projects and deadlines, and effective leadership. Although some classes may be presented in several sessions, each segment will stand alone so you can benefit by only attending one session of a multi-part series.
