About Chartered Management Institute (CMI)

​

Established in 1947 as the British Institute of Management, CMI was founded in the wake of the Second World War to help rebuild British industry. Our goal remains the same today as it was then: to raise the quality and standard of management in the workplace. Having developed the very first diploma in management studies, we have remained at the forefront of management training and thinking ever since.

​

CMI Royal Charter

​

Chartered status was achieved in 2002, when the Chartered Management Institute was created. The Royal Charter was granted by the Privy Council on 12 February 2002 and came into effect on 1 April 2002.

​

 

What does CMI Royal Charter mean in practice?

​

First and foremost, it recognises the practice of management as a profession. It identifies the benefits that good management has both on the individual as a career, and for society as a whole by improving our national institutions.

​

Second, it recognises CMI as the standard-bearer for that profession. Our charter means that we are recognised as the leading authority on management practice.

​

It formalises our members’ commitment to uphold professional standards and keep their skills and competencies up to date. This is an undertaking contained in the CMI Code of Conduct and Practice and the IC Code of Professional Conduct and Practice.

​

Most tangibly, our Royal Charter allows us to award Chartered Manager status, the highest accolade for professional managers in the UK. Chartered Managers are committed to upholding our standards and have demonstrated their experience and impact as managers and leaders.

Assessments

​

Assessments are practical and pragmatic, adding value to your work or business. In the taught units there are personal reflections on your learning and leadership, and case study analysis. There are no exams or tests. The capstone applied research project assessment is a short presentation and a 12,000 - 15,000 words report.

 

Support

​

You are supported in your studies by our online core curriculum, consisting of carefully curated educational material and activities. This is supplemented by two one-hour group mentoring clinics most weeks of the year, where one of our experienced educators’ answers questions on the course and delivers additional material outside of the core curriculum.

 

Once a month one of the weekly clinics is substituted by a public online webinar where our senior academics interview special guests to present and discuss fresh leadership thinking.
