Let's set sail.
Congratulations! You've been awarded Foundation Chartered Manager (fCMgr) status as an extra commendation for the hard work you put into your CMI programme. Now, what's your next goal?
Since you completed your CMI programme, we've added an exciting new dimension to the recognition earned from it, and we didn’t want you to miss out. So, if you reinstate your CMI membership for just £50*, or £5 a month, you can now proudly tell the world you’re a Foundation Chartered Manager and put the letters ‘fCMgr’ after your name!
The best part, though, is that being a Foundation Chartered Manager puts your long-term career goals firmly within your reach. Get clear, tailored development guidance to help you from one milestone to the next — not only showing your commitment to your Continuing Professional Development (CPD), but also setting you up with a lifelong career partner dedicated to helping you succeed.
Congratulations! Now you've completed your course with Pearson, you're eligible for Foundation Chartered Manager (fCMgr) status! Next port of call: develop the rest of the way to becoming fully Chartered!
One of the hardest aspects of building your career is knowing which areas to develop and when, to get you to where you want to be. If you don’t yet have experience at the level you’re aiming for, how do you know what skills you’ll need to tick all the right boxes when you come to take that next step up?
Your new Foundation Chartered Manager status isn’t just another achievement to put on your CV (though the letters ‘fCMgr’ after your name do look pretty great!) It sets you up with a clear map of what you need to do to reach each milestone along the way to achieving your goals, and provides you with everything you need to get there.
