The Club Managers Association of Europe and Dubai Golf have once again joined forces to host Management Development Programmes (MDP) for club industry professionals in the Middle East.
Following on from the successful delivery of MDP 1 in May 2016, they will now deliver both MDP Part 1 and MDP Part 2 parallel to each other, such is the demand for Club Management education in the region.
Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club
The date has been set for MDP Part 1 and MDP 2 to take place at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club from Sunday 28th May to Thursday 1st June 2017.
MDP 1 focuses on Club Operations and the ten core competencies of the modern club manager, whilst MDP 2 focuses on Building and Leading the Club team. The five day residential programmes will see leading club industry experts from the UK and Middle East delivering the education.
A Club Management Diploma is available to all CMAE delegates who attend the MDP 1 and MDP 2 courses, then pass the multiple choice exam on the ten core competencies of a modern club manager, successfully fulfilling the obligations of the group executive case study, including a presentation to a ‘Board’ on their findings and finally submitting and passing a work based assignment of 1,200 – 2,000 words on a situation at their club that they have resolved using the strategic management tools learnt during the two programmes.
Commenting on the programme Dubai Golf’s Chief Executive Chris May CCM said, “we are excited about bringing club executive education back to the Middle East. The programme we delivered in May 2016 was a tremendous success. It is important to drive club management education in the region with clubs being such an important part of the tourism and corporate fabric of the region. Dubai is the perfect venue with so many clubs in our Emirate and it also being such an easy place to get to from throughout the region. Our partner hotel the Park Hyatt is also a great place for the delegates to stay during the programme.”
