What is CMI accreditation and how can it benefit your career?

Bloomsbury Institute’s business graduates secure co-accredited awards from, and access to  CMI resources throughout their studies.

What is the CMI?

The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is the professional body for managers. It is the only organisation in the UK that is able to award Chartered Manager status and there are over 180,000 members.

The CMI accredits all of our business courses and, when you graduate,  you will be awarded a CMI qualification alongside your degree.

Bloomsbury Institute students are also enrolled as CMI students for the duration of their course, at no additional cost to the student. This enables you to access CMI resources, such as CMI Thrive, and earn exemptions from CMI examinations should you chose to register as a Chartered Manager.

CMI Thrive

CMI Thrive is an AI-powered digital learning platform launched by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) in partnership with learning tech company Thrive. It consolidates resources, qualifications, and continuing professional development (CPD) tracking into a single mobile and desktop hub for over 280,000 members.

CMI Thrive has a set of key attributes:

1) AI Assistant (Kiki): Provides instant search results, content summaries, and tailored support.

2) Personalised Pathways: Delivers customized learning recommendations based on individual career goals and courses.

3) Multiformat Content: Includes videos, quizzes, professional journals, podcasts, and management modules.

4) CPD Tracking: Monitors goals and professional growth in real time.

5) Social Spaces: Encourages peer collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Chartered Manager status

Chartered Manager is the highest status that can be achieved in the management and leadership profession. Chartered status recognises managers with exceptional management and leadership skills and commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD), demonstrating to employers and peers the value of a professional approach.

CMI Level 5 and Level 7 certificates are widely recognised and highly valued by employers in themselves. With the addition of three years’ experience in a manager role however, you can use your CMI certificate to fast-track your registration as a Chartered Manager and earn exemptions from CMI examinations; another example of how Bloomsbury graduates qualify quicker.

All of our business management degrees are accredited by the CMI

You’ll earn a CMI Level 5 Qualification alongside your BA Business Management degree or a CMI Level 7 Qualification alongside your MBA/ MSc Management.
