Welcome to Acacia Learning's definitive guide to CMI ( Chartered Management Institute) qualifications tailored specifically for the Middle East region.
As a trusted provider of professional training and development solutions, Acacia Learning is committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in management and leadership roles.
In this article, we will explore the benefits of CMI qualifications, their relevance in the Middle East, and the various pathways available for professionals seeking to enhance their managerial capabilities.
The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is regarded as the leading authority for management, leadership and business pre-eminence and has been advocating for the development of strategic management knowledge and skills for over 75 years.
Incorporated under a Royal Charter, with over 180,000 professional members currently, the Chartered Management Institute is the only organisation worldwide that can award a Chartered Manager status, viewed as the ultimate accolade a manager can receive in their profession.
Chartered Manager status is viewed as acknowledgement of individuals’ exceptional leadership capabilities and their commitment to continual professional development.
Notably, the credibility gained through their array of CMI qualifications, along with the ability to award Chartered Manager status, provide impressive additions to management professionals’ CVs, helping add value both to their careers as well as their organisations:
CMI qualifications are offered at a number of different levels - Level 2 through to Level 8 - based on the learners’ educational background and professional experience.
CMI Certificates allow for a broader base of knowledge and skills to be developed, while CMI Diplomas tend to provide a more comprehensive and extensive learning programme. At Acacia, however, we offer CMI qualifications specific to those looking to elevate their careers as a mid to senior level manager or leader.
For context, the CMI Level 5 qualifications are designed for mid-level managers and focus on the development of core management skills such as managing resources, recruitment and information management. The CMI Level 7 qualifications, on the other hand, are aimed towards senior managers who have a responsibility of translating organisational strategy into effective performance.
This course is designed to home in on and refine learners’ existing managerial skills, to ultimately prepare them for mid-level management positions. It is the ideal qualification for the enhancement of management and leadership knowledge and tactical skills.
The CMI level 5 Diploma also explores the management of projects and performance, along with the implementation of changes, through the use of data for evidence-based decisions.
Assessments for this qualification consist of online written assignments between 3,000 to 4,000 words. Learners will be required to complete one assignment for each of the module options they chose.
This course explores the theories and practices of managing people, projects, data, change, organisational strategy or OD&D at the highest level, while also helping learners develop complex leadership skills. This in turn enables them to manage individual and team performance, by advocating for equality and diversity as well as mentoring their teams for success.
For the CMI Level 7 Diploma, online written assignments are expected to be submitted consisting of 3,500 to 4,500 words. One assignment for each module selected must be submitted.
While professional qualifications can be costly, Acacia Learning provides interest-free payment plans in instalments to help learners better manage the cost of their qualification by spreading the payment of their studies out over a period.
The prices listed below also include examination fees, however, they do not include the additional cost of the CMI registration fee.
CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management & Leadership: 16,000 AED / 17,200 SAR.
CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management & Leadership Practice : 21,500 AED / 26,500 SAR
