CMI First Line Management Level 3

The Chartered Management Institutes Level 3 programme range is suitable for first line managers who have some responsibility for the recruitment and development of personnel, make decisions relating to resources and initiate employment and disciplinary decisions.

It is intended for those people who need to maintain and develop the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations for which they are responsible.

Three qualifications are available at this level: the Award Certificate, and Diploma. The difference between these three options is the number of units you study and pass. Each unit is given a “credit value”, and for each qualification there is a minimum number of “credits” to achieve. So you can choose the size of qualification that is just right for you. Later you can add more units and “upgrade” your qualification until you obtain the Diploma for your chosen management level.

The Diploma is the equivalent of the former Certificate in Management.

The units available for the Level 3 First Line Management management qualification range are:
