This range of qualifications in Advanced Management have been specifically designed to give practicing or potential senior managers critical evaluative skills for their formal development in this role. The initial certificate/award in Advanced Management is a concise qualification aimed at developing senior management skills and knowledge required at this level. The mandatory unit, 'Making informed decisions', examines different decision making strategies and their uses – assessing their relative strengths and weaknesses. Participants then research and employ appropriate strategies in an area relevant to their role. The Certificate in Advanced Management builds and broadens the skills and knowledge gained in the Award. In the second mandatory unit, 'Developing the executive manager', participants collect and analyse feedback on their personal management practice and effectiveness.

This information is then evaluated against significant management theories/models and schools/trends in management thinking. The Diploma in Advanced Management develops a comprehensive range of skills, providing participants with the broad body of knowledge required by senior managers. All participants are able to choose from a range of optional units to build their qualification; this high level of flexibility allows individuals or their employers to custom build a qualification that focuses on the key areas most relevant to their role, industry or organization.
