CMI Level 2 Award in Team Leading Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions, and we have all the answers
The CMI Level 2 Award in Team Leading is designed for aspiring or newly appointed team leaders who are looking to build confidence in managing people and tasks. It is also well suited to those who are already in supervisory positions but want to strengthen their leadership skills and gain a recognised qualification that proves their ability to lead effectively.
Academically, the CMI Level 2 Award in Team Leading is set at Level 2 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) in England. This means it is broadly equivalent to a GCSE at grades A*–C or a Level 2 NVQ. It is an accessible qualification that provides a strong foundation for anyone looking to progress into more advanced management study at Level 3 or beyond.
The difference between the Award, Certificate, and Diploma lies in the depth of study and the number of units you complete. The Award is the shortest and most focused option, giving you a solid introduction to team leading through a single unit. The Certificate builds on this by requiring the completion of more units, giving a broader understanding of team leading skills. The Diploma is the most comprehensive route, covering multiple aspects of team leadership in greater detail and providing the most in-depth preparation for further management qualifications.
CMI qualifications, including the Level 2 Award in Team Leading, are assessed through written assignments rather than exams. These assignments are designed to test your understanding of leadership principles and your ability to apply them to workplace situations. By basing assessment on practical written work, the qualification ensures that what you learn is directly relevant to your role and can be applied immediately.
The Chartered Manager status is the epitome of professional recognition in the management and leadership field. It signifies a commitment to exceptional management skills and continuing professional development, as well as a demonstrated ability to deliver measurable impact. As the only professional body with a Royal Charter, the CMI is uniquely qualified to award this prestigious designation. As a Chartered Manager, you would be able to indicate the prestige of your qualification with the post-nominals ‘CMgr’ following your name on professional documents and platforms including LinkedIn, your CV, or your email signature. Those just starting their careers in management may be interested in Foundation Chartered Manager status, which recognises existing skills and knowledge and provides a pathway to full Chartered Manager status.
