A MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAMME DIRECTOR

Dear Potential Partner,

Central Business School CIPS and CMI qualifications are an investment in the future that will benefit both you and your clients. We also offer our partners

• Exclusivity within the region to market and host Central Business School’s UK profession-ally accredited qualifications.

• Enduring relationships with learners who can start at a level where they don’t need prior qualifications and progress to degree level and beyond.

• Fair and realistic pricing that is sensitive to the local market.

• Scaffolding for smaller, less experienced Partners who can focus initially on just the mar-keting of programmes, with Central Business School providing most or all of the resourc-es and face to face

• New courses and income streams that can be selected ‘off the shelf ‘ from Central Busi-ness School’s menu, put together in relatively little time and folded up just as quickly.

• Flexible and innovative programmes supported by state-of-the art learning technologies that can be studied full-time or on a flexible modular or part-time basis.

If there is any way I can be of further assistance do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

With Kindest Regards

Dr David Morton Programme DirectorE: [email protected] T: +44 7775 906 024


The Chartered Management Institute (CMI)

Chartered Management Institute (CMI ) qualifications are the internationally recognised management qualification. As the only chartered professional body in the field of management and leadership, clients are assured that CMI qualifications are of the highest quality. Each CMI Diplo-ma leads towards achieving CMI Chartered Manager sta-tus. Chartered Manager is the highest status that can be achieved in the managerial profession.

In the UK alone 35,000 people studied for a CMI qualification in 2012. The reason why can be seen in a recent CMI survey.

In the survey:

• Over 85% of managers agreed their CMI management and leadership qualification improved their perfor-mance and by transferring their new skills to the work place, almost all have seen a vast improvement in their teams’ performance too.

• 78% of employers agreed that CMI qualifications pro-vide quality assurance for them and that the benefits outweighed the time, money and effort invested in obtaining them.

• More than 80% of managers said that their CMI qualifi-cation had helped them in gaining a promotion.
