Is it for me?

Before you complete our CMI level 5 certificate in management and leadership course, you should have experience of managing a team already and be in a middle, operational or departmental management role.

Online delivery so working at their own pace outside of college through some of the modules. Attendance at monthly workshops (half day/all day depending on module).

Regular meetings with the course tutor to support your progress throughout your programme of study. The workshops will give you valuable time face to face with your tutor as well.

There will be a written assignment for each module. You will receive written feedback to help you continue to develop your written skills.

We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this course through our Online and On Campus model.

Online video lectures are available on demand, and can be viewed from your phone, tablet or computer. Lessons last for around 45 minutes and are accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to enhance the learning experience further.

On campus, you benefit from regular college classes – without having to commit to attending multiple evenings each week. Experienced tutors will discuss and reinforce what you have learnt during your online study and are on hand to provide guidance on progress and assessment. Discussion and debate with classmates will help you apply theories to situations you face in the workplace.

Course fees are based upon the qualification (Award, Certificate or Diploma).

Level 3 Award £500

Level 3 Certificate £950

Level 3 Diploma £1350
