Daily Programme Structure

This programme leads to a Level 5 Certificate in Management and Leadership, awarded by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). Designed for practicing or aspiring middle managers, this qualification enhances your ability to lead teams effectively and drive organisational success.

Here’s what’s involved:

1. Written Assignments

For each unit undertaken, you’ll complete a written assignment that delves into specific management topics (see unit table below). These assignments allow you to demonstrate your understanding of theories, models, and practical applications relevant to effective management and leadership.

2. Practical Application

Throughout the programme, you’ll be encouraged to apply learned concepts within your workplace or through simulated scenarios. This practical approach ensures that theoretical knowledge is translated into actionable management skills.

3. Reflection and Professional Development

To consolidate your learning, you’ll engage in reflective practice by:

• Evaluating your management experiences.
• Identifying areas for improvement.
• Developing a Personal Development Plan (PDP) to guide your ongoing growth as a manager.

4. Tutorial Support

We provide Group Tutorial Support Sessions to help you successfully complete the assessment and assignment components of your qualification.

Understanding Assessment Criteria (ACs)

Each assessed piece of work, including written assignments, is structured around Assessment Criteria (ACs). These criteria break down the required knowledge, understanding, and evidence needed to meet the qualification standards. Full guidance on how to meet each AC is provided both within the course content and on the Learning Management System (LMS), helping you understand what’s expected and how to structure your responses effectively.

As we develop our skills in various co-coaching sessions, in-person attendees will have the unique opportunity to coach both online and face-to-face, bridging the gap between traditional and digital environments. This dual-mode coaching experience is invaluable in today's world, where the ability to navigate and excel in both physical and virtual spaces is increasingly essential. By mastering the art of hybrid coaching, you’ll gain practical skills that are not only relevant but critical for thriving in a rapidly evolving professional landscape.

This adaptability ensures that your learning remains consistent and uninterrupted, regardless of your location or schedule. Whether you’re balancing work, travel, or other commitments, the blended model empowers you to stay engaged and fully participate in your education on your terms.

ChTC CPD is the trust mark we add to our training to demonstrate the high value of a learning experience for our participants.

CPD is the ongoing process through which professionals maintain and enhance their knowledge, skills, and competencies throughout their careers. Whilst CPD is mandatory only in some industries such as finance, healthcare, law and others, continuous learning on and for work is part of the natural competence development process for all individuals engaged in any professional activity.

It is not about the validity of our professional knowledge; instead, it focuses on our ability to deliver training that enables our participants to achieve their professional goals, but these rely on them being added .
