Whether you’re already working as a manager, or hope to move into management, a qualification in business and management will show your colleagues that you have the knowledge and skills to be an effective leader in the workplace. It’ll also give you the confidence you need to take on new challenges and do a great job.
A professional business and management qualification will set you apart, and could open up new job opportunities or give you the chance to go for a promotion – either way your qualification could lead to greater job satisfaction and a more rewarding career.
NEC works closely with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) to offer business and management qualifications at levels 3 and 5. The CMI is the only chartered body in the UK to award management and leadership qualifications, which are recognised by employers in all sectors.
