CMI Accreditation

Chartered Management Institute (CMI) accreditation means graduates will be automatically awarded the CMI Foundation Chartered Manager (fCMgr) status. This professional status recognises that you have the foundation skills needed to be an effective manager, helping you to stand out from the competition and start your management career journey – with a clear pathway to achieving full Chartered Manager status.

Student Testimonial

“Even though my course was challenging, I’d say that the biggest thing I enjoyed is that whatever theory you learn, you have to apply to practice. you’re always getting back to the drawing board and thinking “How can I apply what I’m learning in a practical setting?”

“One thing that really helped was the fact that, since I’m always working, you can actually pace yourself according to the assignments that you need to do. Then there’s also the advantage with working that I can immediately apply my theory to my work, which has been beneficial. For me, I started off as a sales rep and now, as soon as I graduated, I’ve become a client liaison officer.”

“Arden doesn’t just teach theory and business, it teaches you ways of life. “
