"Nothing should stand in your way. At CMBD our number one aim is to help you achieve your career goals." Mike Epton Managing Director, Consultant and Coach, CMBD
Making a Difference
As a fully approved Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Centre, our trainers and tutors provide RQF coaching, business and management qualifications from Level 2 Team Leader and Supervisor Programmes up to Level 7 Strategic Management & Leadership at executive level. They also provide open courses, deliver in-house training sessions and create bespoke courses on demand.
CMBD is also a CMI Chartered Manager Assessment Centre for individuals wishing to apply for this prestigious award via the qualified full assessment route.
Our coaches provide impartial and professional advice and guidance to help managers and leaders achieve their goals and ambitions and this is particularly effective when combined with training. The combination of training and coaching has been a major feature of many of the programmes that we deliver on behalf of Growth Hubs, Universities and other business support organisations throughout the Midlands.
CMBD’s consultants are experts in Strategy and Business planning and can help you with the development of Financial Control and Management Information Systems, Workforce & Leadership Development, HR Management & Systems, Marketing & Sales, Productivity & Profitability Improvement, Innovation and Value Creation.
However, our greatest asset is our people's ability to combine core skills and functional expertise, delivering value for money solutions with tangible and sustainable results.
Whether you are a Growth Hub or University looking for delivery of a business support programme, a multi-site corporate wanting a graduate management programme or a Managing Director wishing to develop your leadership team or yourself, CMBD have the proven solution and a track record of success.
