Advanced Management Achievement Course
A 3-week highly specialised programme designed for officers moving into management and executive careers.
CMI Level 8 Certificate in Strategic Direction and Leadership
The Advanced Management Achievement Course has a long and successful track record in helping officers make the transition from a military career to the business world after leaving the Armed Forces. It shares the language, concepts and practices of business which are often unfamiliar to our delegates.
During week one of this three-week course, an overview of the basic concepts within each subject area is shared. In the second week ideas are further developed and an understanding of their application to business discussed. The third week focuses on the relevance of pre-course knowledge, and course learning within the business context is more fully realised. The application of ideas by business managers in management situations is explored.
