Are you a management consultant or firm looking to differentiate yourself and inspire client trust and confidence?
The award has been created in a joint partnership between the Management Consultancies Association (MCA), the trade association for the UK’s leading consulting firms and Chartered Management Institute (CMI), which was appointed by the Privy Council as the Awarding Body. Supported and managed by both CMI and MCA ensures that Chartered status is relevant to both the individual and industry, and provides a benchmark for career excellence for management consultants to aspire towards.
On 26th April, we will be officially launching the Chartered Management Consultant award. This is your opportunity to find out about the award first hand from those who have successfully gone through the assessment and those currently working towards it on an accredited programme, plus the impact it's having on clients. Save the date and register your interest to find out more.

Competency framework
The ChMC award sets and maintains the highest standards for the management consulting profession. Central to this is the award's competency framework which sets the standards for both you as an individual consultant and your organisation's training and development programme.
It is reassuring to see a strong interest across the sector in driving up standards with so many consultants either having achieved their award or working toward the Chartered Management Consultant Award. The Crown Commercial Service has welcomed the opportunity to work with the CMI and MCA in shaping the requirements of this qualification. Public sector customers will be able to see a kite mark of integrity and professionalism at a time when those values have never been more crucial.

Having your training programme benchmarked against a professional standard enables you to attract the best talent and deliver a clear development and career path for them, and also provides recognition for experienced consultants. Through this benchmarked standard, your clients will benefit from the latest capabilities and competencies to meet their objectives.
The opportunity that the Chartered award has brought has acted as a catalyst to evolve our learning programme into an inspiring growth and development journey that is aligned to the competency framework. The Chartered award is a positive differentiator.
