Who is the CMI?
The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) works with accredited training organisations like ITonlinelearning to help learners become confident leaders and successful managers.
The CMI was established in 1947 shortly after the Second World War. Its primary focus was to help rebuild industry after the devastation of the war. Many regard CMI as the best institute to gain management qualifications.
CMI’s Royal Charter
In 2002, CMI was designated as the standard-bearer for the profession of management in the UK, meaning it is the only organisation offering management and leadership qualifications that can award chartered status.
Back in 1947, the goal of the CMI was to raise the quality and standard of management in the workplace and that goal is the same and just as relevant today.
Courses tailored for all levels of Managers or aspiring Managers
CMI developed the first management and leadership diploma and now offers a range of qualifications to suit team leaders, junior managers, middle managers, senior managers, directors, and executives.
Over the decades CMI has remained at the forefront of leadership and management and their qualifications are developed by subject matter experts to meet the demands of an ever-changing and evolving environment. They ensure learners gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to grow and strengthen their management career.
CMI is not only an esteemed education institution that is internationally recognised, but a thought leader and a career partner for life.
