At the end of the programme, delegates will also have established a valuable network of support from presenters and peers which will help them fulfil their career in the industry.

CMAE’s Director of Education Michael Braidwood CCM said “There is a real thirst for education amongst club managers in Ireland which was proven by the success of previous MDP parts 1 and 2, plus the MDP Food & Beverage which have been held in Dublin over the past three years and we are excited to be working with our Irish partners to bring the programme back to Dublin in 2017.”

The CMAE’s Management Development Programme was launched in 2011 and since then has been held in seven Countries across Europe and attracted over 850 delegates all with different skill sets and backgrounds, ranging from established club managers and secretaries of golf, tennis, sailing and city clubs, club committee members, course managers, golf professionals and those from outside the club industry looking for a career change.

Those who complete MDP parts 1 and 2 will have the opportunity to gain the Club Management Diploma (CMDip), the only European recognized club management qualification and forms the building blocks to the Globally recognized Certified Club Manager (CCM).
