The Strategic Business Management program qualification was created to develop and reward todays and tomorrow’s business managers, as well as to continue to bring recognition and professionalism to the management sectors. The qualification covers key areas of management such as Finance, HR, Marketing and Personal Development and prepares learners for a range of careers. It also provides entry to an MBA top-up at a range of universities in the UK.

These qualifications provide a flexible route for learners who have already achieved management qualifications at a lower level as well as for learners who do not have business or management qualifications, but may have qualifications in other areas and/or prior management experience in the work place.
