If you're looking to progress your management and leadership career, a qualification from the Chartered Managers Institute can help to develop the practical skills and expertise that you'll need to excel in fulfilling roles with leading employers. 

One of the UK's most respected professional membership bodies for the leadership and management fields, the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is considered a world-leading authority when it comes to management best practice, with over 100,000 members globally. Founded over 60 years ago, it is also one of the only organisations to hold a Royal Charter, allowing it to award Chartered Manager status: a prestigious industry title.

Studying a CMI qualification can equip you with the essential skills, knowledge and professional clout that you'll need to progress your management and leadership career across a wide range of industries.

Studying a CMI qualification with us will help you expand your professional skills, improve your knowledge and build the specialist leadership expertise you will need for a long and successful mid to senior management career. 

We offer CMI qualifications at Level 5 and Level 7.

The CMI Level 5 qualification is generally suited to professionals who are in their first mid-level management position and who are looking to develop the skills and expertise they need to progress their careers to more senior positions. 

The CMI Level 5 Diploma is a more comprehensive qualification as it explores nine modules in detail. The course is designed to help you develop and enhance the specialist, yet broad, range of management skills and techniques you'll need in senior leadership positions. 

The CMI Level 7 qualification is one of the most advanced that you can study in the industry. It is aimed at senior professionals and directors who want to enhance their skills and experience and improve their strategic thinking when it comes to business management. 

The CMI Level 7 Diploma is one of the highest level qualifications that you'll be able to study with CMI when it comes to management and leadership. It is a detailed course that explores the strategic skills, expertise and techniques that you'll need to lead effective businesses and encourage your team to success. Once you've completed this course, along with having gained the required experience, you'll be eligible to apply for Chartered Manager status: a prestigious industry title. 

The exact qualification that you receive at the end of your CMI course will depend on the specific course that you study. Our course advisors will be able to offer you some guidance.
