Did You Know, 78% Say That Employers Prefer Qualified Managers When Recruiting?
CMI works extensively with the Defence Academy to accredit many career progression courses. Most of the courses we accredit do not require you to undertake any additional work and in the majority of cases we can award qualifications to those who have completed courses since 2010 - If you have undertaken any of the qualifications listed below during your time in the Defence Academy since 2010, you will be eligible to apply for a CMI accredited qualification.
Upon accreditation you will also receive 12 months free CMI membership, which offers a host of benefits to support you in your career.
