Earn a CMI Level 5 Award - the first step to Chartered Manager status

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 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).

Courses and assessment

To get an award you will need to upgrade all courses on this program, then qualify for a Certificate of Achievement on each course. To qualify you need to do at least 90% of each course and score an average of 70% or above on any tests.

Once you have qualified for a Certificate of Achievement on every course you will be able to take a final assessment course. Pass the final assessment course to earn the CMI Level 5 Award in Management and Leadership.

This program will require 8 weeks of learning, plus 12 weeks of assessment. The total cost for the courses is $158 + shipping. You will also need to pay £250.00 GBP to take the assessment.

Delivered by expert academics

The Management and Leadership program has been developed by The Open University Business School – a pioneering institution triple-accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB – and features contributions from experienced practitioners who have achieved Chartered Manager status.

Accredited by the CMI

The program is accredited by the CMI (Chartered Management Institute), the leading authority on management and leadership in the UK. The two courses and final assessment are equivalent to the CMI unit 5020V1 Introduction to Management and Leadership.
