The Certificate in Management Development is a short programme specifically designed for those who are keen to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to perform effectively at an executive level in organisations. It aims to equip candidates with modern tools for effective decision-making and to provide them with the ability to evaluate their decisions in the context of real-world case examples. The delivery of the programme utilises a blended learning approach which incorporates methods including lectures (online on a weekly basis and face-to-face for two full days per month), workshops, videos, case studies and discussion boards to replicate the managerial scenarios and tasks that participants would encounter in the real world.
