If you are serious about business then look no further. Whether your ambitions involve running your own business, working your way to the top of an organisation or you intend to work in a specific area such as finance or human resources, City College Plymouth has a variety of courses that will give you a step up.




Why business and professional services
Within the business world, you can expect high salaries and promotion opportunities aplenty providing you have the relevant knowledge and great communication skills.
Our courses are designed to prepare you to enter employment or further education depending on your career goals, or you might look to combine studying with earning and seek out a university-level Apprenticeship.
The College also has courses for those who are already working within the business sector, but are in need of various qualifications or skills in order to progress. At City College, we mean business about business.

Success Story: Emily Todd
Course: CMI Diploma in Management and Leadership (Level 5)
Lecturer: Jeremy Chambers
Role: Business Operations Graduate, Babcock International
“I enrolled on the Level 5 Management and Leadership course at the beginning of the year to further enhance my skills and become a more credible leader in the workplace, backed by academic qualification. In a small class of likeminded managers, we have covered topics from managing projects and delivering operational plans, to managing finance and stakeholder relationships – all of which have given me the skills and knowledge to better enable me in my day-to-day role and support my future career journey as a leader.
Jeremy has been instrumental in the positive delivery of the course – he’s enthusiastic, engaging yet professional, and brings management theories to life with his extensive career background. It is daunting to go back to the classroom, but I have felt fully supported in my academic journey and empowered to really take ownership of my professional development. I am excited to gain my Chartered Manager status at the end of this course, and progress onto Level 7.”
