The Level 5 qualifications in Management and Leadership are designed for practising managers and those aspiring to senior management who want to develop their core management skills such as managing resources, recruitment and information management. These qualifications focus on the personal development of the individual learner’s management capabilities and competencies.
CMI qualifications provide a progressive framework that enables you to develop and broaden your management skills. Each qualification leads on from the next, delivering professional learning that equips you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to take your career further.
CMI offers qualifications from Level 2, ideal for aspiring managers, to Level 8, suited to C-level senior managers.
Designed for aspiring, supervisory or first line managers, Levels 2 & 3 offer a broad range of knowledge, ranging from team leading to project and resource management.
For mid managers, Levels 4 & 5 (equivalent to a degree) are more appropriate as they focus on developing core management skills such as managing resources, recruitment and information management.
Levels 6 & 7 are developed for Directors and Senior Managers who have the responsibility to translate organisational strategy into effective performance.
CMI is the only organisation that offers Level 8 (equivalent to a doctorate) which is suited to C-level senior managers.
Our Level 5 Award in Management and Leadership (QCF) lets you strengthen and develop your knowledge of middle management by focusing on specific management areas that are applicable to your job.
