Level 6 Certificate in Project Management
​
The Level 6 Extended Diploma in Management was developed in 2016 with support and feedback from UK universities.
​
This qualification covers key areas of management such as Leadership and Research with a wide range of optional units in areas such as Finance, HR, Marketing and Personal Development. It also provides entry to an MBA at a range of universities in the UK and overseas. The qualification typically takes 9 months full-time study to achieve and prepares learners for a range of careers. As well as the Extended Diploma option (120 credit) there is a Diploma option (60 credit). The addition of our GenEd pathway in 2018, if taken in combination with the Level 4 Extended Diploma in Management and the Level 5 Extended Diploma in Management, allows the learner to progress onto a Bachelor’s degree in the USA at Northwood University in Michigan.
