training
The Level 5 qualifications in Management and Leadership are designed for practising middle managers
who wish to develop their core management skills and practices. These qualifications focus on the development
of the individuals management capabilities and competencies.
Middle managers who have substantial responsibilities for others, possibly having a number of team

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.
Apart from the Diploma option where certain units are mandatory, it is possible to have a free choice over the
units you wish to study for the Award and Certificate. We have selected the most popular unit(s) for our standard
course, but if you would like to choose different units please contact us before you enrol.
