Qualification case studies

  • Simon Burtonshaw Gunn FIBC FCMI

    Principal Management Consultant

    “I have used the CMI as a competency benchmark for my development”

  • Robbie Andrade ACMI

    Channel Islands Stock Exchange

    "My ultimate goal is to achieve Chartered Manager status.  I’ll be one of only a few people in Guernsey who can boast this, so it’ll definitely bring benefits both to my personal career profile and to my organisation as a whole.” 

  • Philip Parvin CMgr MCMI

    Marine Engineer Officer, Royal Navy

    “It gives me that rubber stamp and kudos for things which I know implicitly I’ve been doing well for years.”

  • Neil Ventura MCMI

    "I therefore started seeking a way to benchmark my management and leadership strengths and find a path to professional recognition. Chartered Manager fulfilled these needs on both counts.”

  • Mark Higgins MCMI

    Learning & Development Manager, General Medical Council

    “Instead of offering training to those already in management positions, we wanted to target future managers and leaders with the aim of encouraging anyone who showed management or leadership potential to consider the Diploma as an opportunity to improve their skills and ability to access opportunities for progression.”

  • Justin Skinner

    Head of Capital Modelling, QBE

    “I wasn’t used to managing other people as I hadn’t been in that position before. I wanted to be a good manager and was aware that my competence as a manager and my management style would have a big impact on my team and other colleagues."

  • Joyce Moyes CMgr

    Abacus Day Nurseries (Owner), Coralshore Ltd Training and Consultancy, Abacus Properties (Director)

    “I believe gaining the qualifications and my Chartered Manager status has changed the way I work because I use what I have learned all the time.”

  • John Chessire

    "Membership of the Chartered Management Institute initially appealed to me because of the range and depth of resources, research, experience and best practice guidance available to members through the accessible and intuitive website."

  • Isabel Cherrett MCMI

    "I do not have a degree, but working in a University I find being able to use 'MCMI' signals that I do have a qualification which reflects the needs of my role - operational management being the most important."

  • Greg Evans CMgr MCMI

    Site Director, Nuclear Power Station, Magnox North Ltd

    “I was looking to make a career move, but began to realise that without any type of formal qualification I would find it difficult to progress much further. The CMI emerged as the organisation that would help me achieve the qualification I needed to move onwards and upwards.”
