About the qualification
The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) works with business and education to inspire people to become skilled, confident and successful managers and leaders. It is the only organisation that can award Chartered Manager status. Christine Collins of Onion People Development, who partners with VGC to design and deliver Academy courses, is an accredited centre for CMI qualifications. The CMI Level 5 Award – ‘Principles of Management and Leadership in an Organisational Context’ – is suited to middle, operations and departmental managers and looks at aspects such as strategy and communicating vision. Candidates must complete a 4,000 word assignment.
Key learning outcomes for the level 5 qualification:
- Understand factors which impact on an organisation’s internal environment
- Understand the application of management and leadership theories
- Understand the knowledge, skills and behaviours to be effective in a management and leadership role
Sponsorship
Mark participation in the CMI programme was sponsored by VGC, using a grant from the CITB Leadership and Management Development Fund. Aside from the CMI Awards, this grant has enabled VGC to schedule many other learning events over the past year, including our Academy core development and management programmes, some brand new soft skills workshops, and various professional qualifications for individual employees.
“Completing the CMI L5 in Management and Leadership qualification had increased my confidence in leadership and managing team, the increased understanding of leadership theory and management tools with their interdependence is allowing me to be more aware of how I interact across the business and how I can drive the business objects to achieve success.” – Mark Davies, Project Manager
