Supervisors Course
New Course to Equip your Team
Being a great cabinet maker doesn’t automatically prepare you to lead a team. Supervisors are expected to manage people, priorities, productivity and safety — often without formal leadership training. The new ACFA Supervisors Course has been developed specifically for current and aspiring workshop leaders in the cabinet and furniture industry, providing practical skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle real-world challenges, lead high-performing teams and become more effective supervisors.
Across eight practical modules, participants will build skills in communication, time management, coaching and performance, Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement and managing change. Delivered online and at your own pace, the course is designed to help supervisors apply what they learn directly in the workplace and strengthen the way they lead their teams.

The ever-changing landscape we operate has led ACFA to develop the first of multiple short business courses to empower the industry to further their knowledge and take the time to understand their business in greater depth.
Understanding the basics of finance is crucial for business owners for several reasons. A basic understanding of finance empowers business owners to make informed decisions, allocate resources wisely, manage risks effectively, and communicate confidently with stakeholders. It plays a fundamental role in the overall success and sustainability of a business.
