DESCRIPTION:Mastering AV Service Management (MASM) &ndash\; the Aspiring Ma
 nager Certificate Virtual ClassroomThe MASM Aspiring Manager Certificate (
 MASM-AMC) is for the technician moving up to manager\, or the existing man
 ager looking for formal description\n    of the skills. This course recogn
 izes that there is an enormous difference between the mental approaches of
  a technician and a manager. Specifically\, a technician is dealing with k
 nown technologies\, and using knowledge as a diagnostic tool. A manager\n 
    doesn&rsquo\;t have the luxury of the pre-known\, because the manager d
 eals with situations\, not systems\; so\, diagnosis does not apply. The si
 tuation may require decisions to be made\, policies to be invented\, or a 
 political angle to be considered. MASM-AMC\n    will prepare you for that 
 philosophical shift - and will also give you a practical to-do list for yo
 ur managerial working day.Who should attend?Technicians aspiring to leader
 ship or management roles\, or recent\n    appointees\; established heads o
 f any AV technical workgroup\, needing to revisit the basic principles of 
 management and put their technical roots into perspective. The AMC content
  suits AV support delivered either in-house or as service provider--where\
 n    tech support resolutions and conducting projects are part of the typi
 cal workload\, especially where that work comprises interaction with end u
 sers and corporate authorities.How is it delivered?AMC is blended learning
 : a mix of independent study and online tutorials. Note that the tutorials
  are not teaching sessions. In a tutorial candidates will have their under
 standing of the material checked and quizzed on their knowledge.&nbsp\;A w
 orkbook will be provided in advance in PDF format. This &lsquo\;Body of Kn
 owledge&rsquo\; contains all the slides\, accompanying text\, and quizzes 
 to help you prepare for the examination. Candidates will study a portion o
 f the book\, before attending an\n    online tutorial. The examination tak
 es place in the final hour of Tutorial 2.Attention! You will have to study
  the course contents on your own schedule\, without the instructor's compa
 ny. The tutorials are follow-up sessions of the previously studied content

 estricts managerial thinkingPhilosophical and functional differences betwe
