CMI Level 3 FastTrack Leadership Programme - September 2025
Course Details
Elevate your leadership capabilities with our exclusive CMI-accredited leadership programme—the only fast-track solution developed in partnership with the Chartered Management Institute specifically for the professional recruitment sector.

Delegates can gain a Level 3 Certificate in Principles of Management and Leadership qualification and 'Foundation Chartered Management' status by taking an assessment at the end of the programme. They will benefit from highly experienced trainers, a learning support coordinator and comprehensive resources from the Management Direct Learning Hub.
In today's recruitment landscape, where economic pressures, fluctuating demand, and cost constraints create unprecedented challenges, strong leadership isn't just beneficial—it's essential.
