Drive improvement with our one-day Process Mapping workshop. Our Process Mapping Training course has been designed as a one-day programme so that your business may use Process Mapping as THE TOOL to drive improvement. The techniques explained in this practical "hands-on" workshop will yield real, timely, and motivating results. A process map is a visual tool used to illustrate your core processes. It is essentially a breakdown of a process to determine how it flows and, ultimately, how effective it is. Those who use PROCESS MAPPING look closely at elements such as the structure of a system and the flow of communication within the system. It is therefore a communication tool, a planning tool, and a tool to drive unnecessary waste and cost out of your organisation. It is also a practical tool to help you identify and address core problems in your organisation. PROCESS MAPPING is an essential and critical stage in the search for performance improvement. Yet the approach is not widely recognized or understood. PROCESS MAPPING will help managers and staff alike discover what the process is currently like, what are the Value Added, the Non-value Added, and the Value Enabling activities, and how to identify opportunities for improvement as you map out how the process should look like Whether delivering a service or producing a product, successful organisations are in continual pursuit of better, faster and cheaper way of delivering satisfaction to their customers. PROCESS MAPPING will provide organizations with an agreed and accurate understanding of their current processes, and will therefore provide new sources of rich stimulation for ideas to solve problems, find improvements, and map what the process should look like. It is therefore a foundation upon which many organizations then develop and implement many other Lean tools. PROCESS MAPPING is also a key tool used in the design and implementation of a robust Quality Operating System. The International Organization for Standardization or ISO 9001 encourages a process approach to quality management as it helps in the understanding of how each process relates to other processes within the organization and how those interactions impact Quality Management. This workshop can also be delivered in-house as a stand-alone training workshop or integrated into wider improvement activities. We are happy to discuss Process Mapping in the context of your own business needs, so please contact us via email at compete@cforc.org or phone +44 (0)28 9073 7950 or our Dublin office +353 8 7224 2575 for more information.

Course Introduction for VTCT upgrade The VTCT qualification is recognised around the world and will allow you to be employed in a clinic, salon or allow you to set up your own business. The Federation of Holistic Therapists and the Association of Reflexology, two of the biggest Holistic Therapy organisations which both accept members with this qualification. Description Reflexology uses many techniques to manipulate reflex zones found in the feet, of which correspond to a specific body part. The zones have been mapped and this enables the Reflexologist to treat the whole body via these reflex zones on the feet. The treatment is primarily used for the stimulation of all bodily systems and aiding relaxation. Reflexology is performed frequently within the Health Service personnel and has a role in comforting and supporting terminally ill patients. This 5 day VTCT Course leads to practitioner status, focusing on providing you with knowledge of the principles of reflexology, competence in dealing with clients, correct use of consultation techniques and good use of planning treatments. You will also learn the benefits and techniques of reflexology and how to target certain key areas such as: Pregnancy or Hand Massage. Duration 5 days, 10.00am – 5.30pm. Practical elements are covered over 5 days attendance at our Academy. Theory elements are covered by homestudy.
