Leadership and Management Apprenticeship

Operational Departmental Manager Level 5

cmi logo transparent

With increased competition and technological advances, organisations need to develop their managers with the ability to create new, creative, and future proof strategies and visions for their organisations. Today’s Operational Managers must have an analytical mind and ‘out of the box’ approaches to designing business processes, creating, and managing strategic change, risk management and overall business improvement.

Our Operational Departmental Manager Level 5 programme helps professionals in management positions to develop key skills and unique insights into the most important aspects of leadership and management. It will equip them with the skills, creativity and vision that can be incorporated into their day-to-day responsibilities and guide their business in today’s fast-moving competitive environment.

All our programmes are built upon the principles of the ‘three Es’:

  • Education
  • Experience
  • Exposure
