Flexible Leadership and Management CMI Level 3

The ability to supervise and lead individuals and teams to success is arguably the most important skill a leader can possess. This course focuses on the essential management and leadership skills required to fulfil this challenging but rewarding role.

For the CMI Award you will study 1 unit (4 credits), for the Certificate you will study 3-4 units (13 credits) and for the Diploma 7 units (37 credits).

This qualification includes a focus on the theoretical and practical approaches to developing, leading, and managing teams (remote or multidisciplinary). The leader will look at techniques to assess current and future team capabilities, including the roles within a team, the principles of leadership and developing yourself as a leader.

The assessments for this qualification are practical work-based assignments. This ensures you minimise time away from work and that you undertake work study which is relevant to your own organisation’s context.

This qualification could lead to employment in the industry of Business Management or to further study/education.
