About Chartered Manager status
Chartered Manager is a competence-based award that reviews your key achievements and the impact this has had on your organisation. It focuses on the practical application of your skills and expertise in leading people and managing change.
It's a streamlined and credible process with support every step of the way, and designed to fit with your work schedule:
* Online assessment questionnaire completed by yourself and six colleagues
* A validated submission to describe how you have applied leadership and change management skills to improve performance/results in your organisation over the last 18 months, and how you have developed as a manager.
* An assessment interview.
The Derby MBA (CMI accredited) helps you to achieve Chartered Manager status. You will be required to formally apply to CMI for Chartered Manager status. This includes an assessment questionnaire, submission of an independent business impact study (as you'll complete in the final stage of your MBA) and an assessment interview
