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.”
“I really enjoyed everything about my time at the College. From an academic point of view, the staff were superb.”
John Helliwell
“I don’t think I would be where I am today had I chosen another route,”
Toby Harris-Layne
