Senior Analyst To Team Leader Course (SATL)
Talk to Us!
Use this form to get in touch. We are here to support service desk and IT Support teams to be even more brilliant! We look forward to hearing from you.
Step into your next role with confidence.
Stepping up to lead takes more than being the best analyst on the desk: you have to see the bigger picture, bring people with you and speak the language of the business. Join our Senior Analyst to Team Leader course and gain the confidence to move from doing the work to leading it.
This is a two-day, interactive IT service desk training programme designed to give experienced analysts the skills, tools and confidence to take on a more strategic role, and to prepare them for the move into team leader or service desk manager.
As a senior analyst, you’re already part leader. You support newer colleagues, manage escalations and keep the desk running when things get busy, often without the title or the training to go with it. We understand how big that leap can feel, and that’s why we created this course.
Built around industry best practice and ITIL principles, the course covers everything from running a shift briefing to writing a business case your managers will actually read.
