Choose the right CMI qualification for your career level
Understanding the right level for you is key to choosing a course that challenges you, builds on your experience, and helps you grow confidently into your next career step.
The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) offers qualifications from Level 2 through to Level 8, covering every stage of a leadership career. These levels align with the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), starting with Level 2 for team members or aspiring supervisors, up to Level 8 for senior executives and directors operating at a strategic level.
At Chase Business School, we focus on Level 5 and Level 7.
These are the stages where experienced professionals need to solidify their management capabilities or move into advanced strategic roles.
CMI Level 5 is ideal if you’re already managing people or projects and want to formalise your skills. It’s perfect for department heads, operational managers, or team leaders preparing to step up into senior roles.
CMI Level 7 is suited to experienced senior managers, executives, or consultants who need to lead strategically, influence change, and drive organisational performance. It’s also a direct route to becoming a Chartered Manager.
Both levels offer a choice of qualification sizes: Award, Certificate, Diploma, and in some cases Extended Diploma, depending on how far you want to take your study.
Whichever route you choose, you’ll gain practical, recognised skills that employers value.
