Level 5 Award in Management and Leadership

Course Overview

It leads to the Award in Management and Leadership awarded by the Chartered Management Institute.

It is part of a suite of qualifications offered at this level which include Award, Certificate, and Diploma.

The difference between these three options is the number of units you study and pass. Each unit is given a "credit value", and for each qualification there is a minimum number of "credits" to achieve. So you can choose the size of qualification that is just right for you. Later you can add more units and "upgrade" your qualification until you obtain the Diploma for your chosen management level.

Apart from the Diploma option where certain units are mandatory, it is possible to have a free choice over the units you wish to study for the Award and Certificate. We have selected the most popular unit(s) for our standard course, but you can choose different units if you like.
