"Participating in the CMI (Chartered Management Institute) Level 5 Diploma Course in Leadership and Management as an Apprentice was transformative for me because I developed a positive and inclusive mindset along with a strong commitment to professional and personal development for myself and my team; the skills and knowledge I learned (and continue to learn) through CMI have had a tremendous impact on the work my team and I do; I am more confident, self-aware, and conscious of others’ situations and perspectives; and I am much better at making informed decisions, planning, delivering, monitoring, and reporting on work than I was when I was an “accidental manager.”

“I have enjoyed learning about customer service, it was interesting to understand how to deal with people and it helps improve your social skills. I picked Business because it’s a good course for lots of different jobs and excellent business knowledge is something lots of employers will look for.”
