MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP CMI LEVEL 5 DIPLOMA

Students must achieve an 80% minimum attendance requirement and commit to self-directed study when preparing for class/group work and assignments. You will also be required to attend pre-arranged individual tutorials. The 35 weeks are not consecutive and college holidays are taken as indicated on the college website.

Managing Projects to Achieve Results

This unit focuses on the knowledge and skills required to manage projects successfully and overcome problems and challenges. It requires the learner to evaluate the methods and tools for planning tasks and activities, as well as knowing how to implement and manage project activities, build stakeholder relationships, manage resources and risk, monitor progress and report on outcomes.

Creating and Delivering Operational Plans

The unit opens with the importance of understanding the strategic direction of the organisation and how to contribute to the strategic planning process. It then focuses on the knowledge and skills required to create and deliver operational plans. This includes the need to set key performance indicators, monitor quality and outcomes against the plan, and know how to effectively report on findings.

​Managing Finance

Financial acumen enhances decision making skills, which in turn supports management of projects, tasks and functional areas. This unit has been designed to enable learners to understand how financial systems within organisations operate. Learners will evaluate the sources of finance for organisations and understand the principles for setting and managing budgets in line with regulatory and organisational guidelines.

Managing Change

Change is inevitable if an organisation is to maintain competitiveness and currency of practice. This unit has been designed to enable the learner to evaluate types and reasons for change within organisations and be able to select and apply theoretical models for its management.

Managing Stakeholder Relationships

Good relationships, whether they are with customers, suppliers, partners or staff, are a key contributor to an organisation’s success. To build stakeholder relationships that are long lasting and sustainable, they need to be planned and developed. This unit explores the types and purposes of stakeholder relationships and the skills required to overcome challenges and manage these effectively.

Using Reflective Practice to Inform Personal and Professional Development

By consciously analysing own performance, decision making, leadership and management skills (in different situational contexts); opportunities for on-going development can be identified. The aim of the unit is to equip learners with the understanding of the value of reflective practice, and how reflection can be used as the basis of a meaningful personal and professional development.

Once the Diploma is completed, further studies could be continued by progressing on to the CMI Level 6 qualification in Professional Management and Leadership Practice elsewhere.

An interview with a member of the Professional Studies teaching team is required, prior to, or at enrolment and this will be completed at one of the open evening events run by the college.

Continuous assessment is used throughout the course by a variety of written assignments, skills activities and workplace evidence. There is a well stocked library within the College and individual lecturers will advise on recommended texts.

Students will only be accepted onto the Diploma upon successful completion of the CMI L5 Certificate.
