CMI Recognised helps to enrich your learning offering, whether you deliver professional training, in-house development, or broader educational programmes.

CMI Recognised programmes sharpen skills, empowering learners to achieve professional and organisational goals. They receive a CMI Certificate of Recognition, plus Foundation Chartered Manager (fCMgr) status and access to CMI's exclusive learning resources.

CMI was really keen to support us in raising the bar of leadership across the Trust. We have been really impressed with the results of our Recognised training. CMI has been excellent to work with. It's such an easy partnership and customer service is superb. The fact that our participants can obtain Foundation Chartered Manager status is an added bonus.
Paul Mendes, Head of Learning Development, West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals Trust
Prospective learners and organisations are always interested when we mention the CMI recognition. It's really boosted the profile and reputation of our clients like Roads Academy. Having an esteemed organisation like CMI recognise our programmes adds real integrity to the impact we're delivering.
