Please note if you are a business owner, director or manager and want support with time management at work or in your business then I would recommend that you take my other course ‘Time management for business owners, directors & managers’ rather than this one as it will be more relevant to you.  There is an overlap of content between the two courses so please choose one or the other, not both.
