This qualification recognises a range of business-related competence. It is primarily intended for people who hold, or aspire to hold, positions which involve the management and leadership of several different (but allied) teams or business units, and/or which cross organisational boundaries and affect at least a significant part of the whole organisation itself. Such people have a broader focus than managers/leaders of a single team.

The qualification is intended both for people seeking recognition of current competence for existing knowledge and skills they use in their work, and for people acquiring skills and knowledge in a range of education settings.

This programme spans across one academic year. The programme is comprised of eight courses over four terms. Each term is ten weeks.
