Course Description 
The Award in Performance Management Program is a comprehensive learning experience designed to empower professionals with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to enhance organisational performance through key performance indicators (KPIs). In Module 1, participants embark on a foundational exploration of KPIs and their pivotal role in strategic management. They define and understand the significance of KPIs, categorise different types, and actively develop KPIs for various functions while fostering a positive performance measurement culture. Building on this foundation, Module 2 delves into the practical application of performance measurement development and monitoring. Participants gain insights into the step-by-step process, data collection methods, and the implementation of monitoring systems. The program enables participants not only to learn theory but also develop practical skills and competencies to align KPIs with strategic objectives, set meaningful targets, and communicate performance insights effectively.

Delivery of modules: Individual modules will be announced at the start of the programme to fit the work-based learning and practical schedules. Our programmes are structured around a modular system of qualifications, designed to provide flexibility and responsiveness to both learners and industry partners. Given the strong work-based learning component of our programmes, it is not always possible to apply a uniform delivery model across all courses. Therefore, modules may be delivered on a weekly, monthly, or semester basis, depending on the specific requirements of the course and the availability of industry placements.
The exact delivery structure for each module or programme will be announced by the respective trainer at the start of the course, taking into account:
- the availability of work-placement opportunities,
- the learners’ and workers’ schedules, and
- the capacity of host industries to accommodate training and practical experience.
This flexible approach ensures that EVA can maintain high-quality, relevant, and industry-aligned training, while supporting both learners’ educational needs and the realities of the workplace environment.
