Since doing my course, I have found my job is easier to perform. The course has given me great insight into management processes and ways of thinking about work issues.

We are always learning and the CMI membership will give me access to the tools, content and inspiration I'll need to continually improve.

CMI has given me the confidence to put myself forward for projects which I would never have done before, broadened my horizons, and ultimately improved my prospects for development opportunities in the future.
