This qualification is inspired by the MBA (Master’s in Business Administration) model and approaches learning in a practical, applied way. It is for those who aspire for senior level managerial roles in organisations.
The Extended Diploma should, normally, take three years to complete. The units become gradually more difficult as candidates progress through the qualification.
The Extended Diploma is based on the IAM definition of administrative management, namely that the administrative management function supports organisations in planning, organising, directing and controlling their business activities across all functional areas.
Candidates will develop a holistic approach to business together with the analytical and evaluative skills necessary for those in management positions. They will become familiar with the theory which underpins research methods and techniques.
The qualification is accredited by the appropriate qualification Regulatory Authorities. |
