Chartered Manager is the highest status you can achieve in the management profession. Thousands of managers are already working towards Chartered status, as proof of their ability to lead people and manage change.
Now you can take your first step towards becoming a Chartered Manager with the Management and Leadership, Essentials program – two online courses from The Open University Business School and the CMI (Chartered Management Institute).
Accessible on desktop, tablet or mobile and delivered in bite-sized chunks, these two courses provide a flexible way to enhance your management skills and demonstrate your continuing professional development (CPD).
Once you complete this program and pass the final assessment course, you’ll earn a CMI Level 5 Award. If you also complete and pass the Management and Leadership, Personal Development program, you’ll earn another CMI Level 5 Award. Together, these two awards will give you a CMI Level 5 Certificate in Management and Leadership – the next step to Chartered Manager status.
Due to demand we have extended the final assessment registration date by a month to 28 February 2021. We’re working to extend this further and will update this page as soon as this is confirmed.
