Lead with Confidence. Qualify with CMI.

CMI (Chartered Management Institute) is the UK's leading professional body for management and leadership. Their qualifications are nationally recognised and valued by employers across all sectors. CMI membership also gives you access to a professional network and resources.

Level 5 is equivalent to a foundation degree and is aimed at middle managers — it covers operational management, team leadership, and project delivery. Level 7 is equivalent to a postgraduate diploma and is for senior leaders — it covers strategic leadership, governance, and organisational transformation.

Middle managers (Level 5) typically earn £35,000–£55,000. Senior leaders and directors (Level 7) earn £55,000–£90,000+. CMI research shows that qualified managers earn on average £12,000 more than their unqualified peers.

Chartered Manager is the highest status awarded by CMI. It demonstrates that you have the knowledge, skills, and experience to perform at the highest level. It's a professional designation that sets you apart — similar to chartered status in accounting or engineering.
