This qualification represents an ideal next step for aspiring professionals taking their first foray

Signifying an excellent milestone in their careers, this qualification represents an ideal next step for aspiring professionals taking their first foray into line management, or those with some experience of managing a team or project to deliver clearly defined outcomes.
