Bloomsbury Institute’s business graduates earn CMI exemptions and access to CMI resources throughout their studies, but how does this help you to qualify quicker?
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 ManagementDirect, and earn exemptions from CMI examinations should you chose to register as a Chartered Manager.
CMI Level 5 qualification
awarded to our business undergraduates
CMI Level 7 qualification
awarded to our business postgraduates
ManagementDirect
ManagementDirect is the CMI’s online resource centre, providing key practical and theoretical resources in management and leadership.
You will have access to ManagementDirect throughout your studies. The resources that it offers will provide you with additional support to increase your subject knowledge, gain key skills and assist with increasing your employability after graduation.
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.
