CMI Management & Leadership
Accredited qualifications for current and future leaders
Our Chartered Management Institute (CMI) programmes deliver a journey of professional learning which equip students with the skills, knowledge and confidence to progress their management career.
Scotland Excel's CMI management and leadership programmes are designed to help public sector managers and leaders develop the knowledge and skills to meet the challenges facing the sector now and in the future.
CMI qualifications focus on the personal development of each learner’s capabilities and competencies. Working as part of a cohort of like-minded managers, the Academy provides students with an opportunity for interactive learning and shared experience.
Each qualification unit consists of a live workshop followed by an assessment project where students are asked to demonstrate how the learning has been applied to work-based practice. Workshops and assessments are complemented by guided learning through the Scotland Excel Academy using online content and group discussions.
All students on CMI programmes have the option of undertaking an assessment to achieve CMI Chartered Manager status on completion of their qualification.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all workshops are currently delivered online.
