      What is a diploma in retail management? Coursework typically focuses on management in retail, including the stages of retail operations. Students may conduct research, contrast and compare tactical approaches and work in teams. Topics may cover information regarding marketing, merchandising, customer relations, promotions, inventory control, supply chain, store operations, finance and managing people.

      Teamwork, written communication and verbal communication are skills that are necessary in the world of retail. Managers need to be effective communicators with their teams, but these skills extend beyond work and into community advocacy, individual lives and business relationships.

      Diploma courses vary in length but many may be completed in three months or less. Costs vary depending on where, how long and what type of institution. Most institutions’ websites or admissions advisors have the necessary information to make an informed decision prior to enrollment in a diploma course.
