Award, Diploma or Certificate?

CMI qualifications come in three different sizes, depending on how in-depth the qualification is and how long it will take you to complete it.

• Award is the shortest and most concise qualification – takes between 1 and 3 months.
  
• Certificate provides a broad base of knowledge and skills – takes between 3 and 6 months.
• Diploma provides a comprehensive and extensive programme of learning - takes between 6 and 12 months.

Arhine Solutions, in partnership with Odissy Limited, can provide a number of bespoke leadership and management qualifications to develop, inspire and motivate your leaders.
In a recent survey, over 80% of managers the CMI spoke to said that undertaking a CMI qualification plays a key part in becoming a professional manager.

All programmes include access to our business improvement system GOLD, to help learners apply and share examples of new skills and learning.

• Certificates are 13 to 20 credits (130 to 200 hours’ learning).
• Diplomas are 37 or more credits (370 or more hours’ learning).
