Dual Accreditation

A proven boost to employability

Dual Accreditation covers a portfolio of qualifications at different levels from Award right through to Diploma.

CMI will take your existing degree programme, whether undergraduate or postgraduate, and align it to our own qualifications. On completion of their degree, your students will also walk away with a CMI qualification, developed in consultation with employers, which has been proven to improve their employability upon graduation.

Employability skills are the key to graduate employment success

CMI’s Dual Accredited degrees provide students with a positive learning journey, helping you to attract a diverse range of students and equipping graduates with the 11 key skills and the ability to evidence them that employers require to boost employability.

Common Questions

If you are an existing partner then all we need to do is map your programme content against our CMI qualifications. This involves one of our mappers to map your indicative content against the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for each of our units. This normally takes 3-4 weeks depending on how quickly we receive the information from you.

If you are not yet an approved centre then you will need to through an online approval process and then have your programmes mapped - normally this process takes around 6-8 weeks.

The CMI logo can be used on your website to help promote your courses, we have specific logo packs for our partners, please contact your Engagement Manager or email heinformation@managers.org.uk and they can share this with you.

No extra assessments are required for Dual Accreditation, they just need to complete your degree/programme and the qualification will be awarded on completion.
