Power your management ability

The ACMP is an NQF level 6, CHE accredited qualification that consists of five learning blocks over a 12 month period. The course is underpinned by a systems-focused framework that gives you mastery over complex topics such as strategy, diversity and inclusion, and builds your understanding of the business ecosystem. You will gain insight into how businesses operate and be able to identify red flags, see opportunities, and develop the skills to manage operations and teams optimally.

All assessment is project-based and directly related to your role within the organisation. In this way, the learning is sustained, and you continue to grow beyond the life of the programme as you utilise the toolsets and models provided.

The themes covered are those that middle to senior managers are expected to master, while the personal mastery component enables students to understand themselves and others better.
