What You Will Learn

Study is via the on-line learning platform on the CMI’s Management Direct resource. Here you will find structured learning journeys designed by the CMI that will take you through each module at your own pace. The online learning journeys are a mix of reading, video tutorials, interactive scenario exercises and questionnaires and take between 5 and 10 hours each to complete. The learning journeys are supported by your personal CMBD tutor.

This combination of tutor support and self-development delivers a high quality, flexible and cost-effective way of achieving an Internationally recognised qualification. CMI qualifications at Level 7 are based on practical skills and competences that are rated in academic terms as being comparable to master’s or Postgraduate Diplomas

The various topics covered in the Learning Journeys include;

Innovation and Change
Strategy
Developing Collaborative Relationships
Enterprise and Risk
Finance
Leading and Developing people

Who Should Attend

The course and qualifications are aimed at Directors, Senior Managers and Business Owners with a strategic responsibility. Typically, delegates to this programme will have either an input into the organisation’s strategy, be responsible for providing direction or be preparing to take on a strategic role. This is a comprehensive programme of Leadership & Management development and the wide choice of subjects allows delegates to focus on areas that will meet their own particular needs. It is this flexibility that helps to provide a step change in both individual and organisational performance.

The depth of the programme is designed to provide a range of study options from gaining an Award (which requires completion of the relevant online learning journeys and completing one assignment) through to a full Diploma requiring 5 to 7 assignments (depending on your area of study and assignment choices).

There are no formal entry requirements for the programme. The programme is intended for experienced leaders but could also be considered as a longer-term alternative to full-time University master’s education. If you are unsure if the course will suit your needs, please contact us for individual guidance

Gaining the qualification

To obtain the Level 7 Diploma qualification, you will need to complete the online learning modules and the relevant number of assignments (between 5 and 7 depending on which units you choose). A Level 7 Certificate qualification requires 2 or 3 assignments and a Level 7 Award requires 1 assignment.

Delegates start by completing a virtual induction classroom session before deciding which units or assignments to complete. Each candidate can then discuss with their tutor and decide how they wish to construct their qualification. There is a wide choice subject areas that you can study so you really can tailor your programme to your own particular needs or career objectives.

Most people will send their tutor work as they complete each section of a unit so that feedback and guidance can be provided on an ongoing and personal basis. You can also email or arrange additional sessions if you need help with a particular issue.
