Executive Plus Diploma

If your next career goal is to become right-hand person to a very senior manager or director, this exactly the right qualification for you.
Picture yourself as Alan Sugar's next apprentice, called upon at all times to deliver reports, figures, facts and forecasts using all the business skills and information technology you can deploy to ensure your boss makes level decisions accurately and quickly.
As you provide the support, you'll be learning what it takes to hold the top position in the organisation - and maybe even planning to get there yourself! In fact, it's fair to consider this as the underpinning for business management training.
Pitman Training's Executive Plus Diploma is designed to help you operate at the highest levels.
It's our most comprehensive programme ever, requiring one year's full time or two years' part-time study using both our world renowned self-paced study method and our live classroom seminars.
