Overview & Modules

The programme is tailored to suit the individual and the range of units combines strategic management knowledge and skills, with the process of how managers learn and work. They are designed to enable you to develop the skills needed to meet the challenge of today’s dynamic, and, competitive work environment. There is a strong emphasis on practical skills, and, their application, as well as personal and professional development. The programme aims, above all, to provide a supportive and stimulating learning environment.

Once registered on the programme you will automatically become a member of the Chartered Management Institute. As an Affiliate member of the CMI you will have access to all the resources from their comprehensive online library to help you with your studies.

You will complete 5 units for the Diploma to achieve this qualification. Two units are ‘Being a Leader’ and ‘Personal Development as a Manager and a Leader’; however these can be changed if an organisation has a group of delegates.

Being a Leader is concerned with assessing organisational culture, reviewing values and ethics. Additionally, a number of comprehensive tools will be introduced to analyse the market place. We will examine leadership skills and styles with critical reflection.

Personal Development as a Manager and a Leader is concerned with reviewing, analysing and improving individual management and leadership skills and competencies against objectives.

How will I be assessed?

Assessment is via practical work-based assignments. This ensures you take minimum time away from work and that you undertake work study which is relevant to you. However, these may be in the format of a written assignment, professional discussion and/or presentation. For businesses who require in-company training, and, candidates who choose to study long distance, please contact us to find out more.

For the remaining units on the Diploma we can discuss the units one-to-one and these can be contextualised for the learner. You will get the opportunity to discuss these with your tutor who will advise you on the best combination going forward. Learners have the flexibility to choose the units as they progress. Depending on your position at the time of progressing through the qualification you may change the combination of units to be studied.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification. However, this Level 5 Management and Leadership Diploma qualification is suitable for middle and operational managers who have responsibilities for others, possibly having other team leaders, or first-line managers, reporting to them.

Note, you do not need to be in a senior managerial position in order to undertake this qualification as the units are completed as assignments based on academic research.
