The Qualifications have been created to develop and reward the business managers of today and the future, and to continue to bring recognition and professionalism to the management sectors. The Level 7 programme will require Learners to critically evaluate, challenge and synthesise a wide range of current management tools, techniques and models. The emphasis placed on current management concepts and models is on those that are relevant to the 21st century business environment and context and goes beyond the normal examination of Anglo American management models.
Approved Centres are responsible for reviewing and making decisions as to the applicant’s
ability to complete the learning programme successfully and meet the demands of the
qualification. The initial assessment by the centre will need to consider the support that is
readily available or can be made available to meet individual learner needs as appropriate.
The qualification has been designed to be accessible without artificial barriers that restrict
access. For this qualification, applicants must be aged 19 years or over.
Learners are expected to hold the following:
• Level 6 qualification or:
• First Degree.
In the case of applicants whose first language is not English, then IELTS 6 (or equivalent) is
required. International qualifications will be checked for appropriate enrolment to UK
higher education postgraduate programmes where applicable. The applicants are normally
required to produce two supporting references, at least one of which should preferably be
academic.
In certain circumstances, applicants with considerable experience but no formal
qualifications may be considered, subject to interview and being able to demonstrate their
ability to cope with the demands of the qualification.
