ATHE Level 5 Diploma/Extended Diploma in Management

ATHE Business and Strategic Management Qualifications provide progression from levels 4 to 7. All ATHE management qualifications are on the QCF and have been accepted for progression by a number of higher education institutions.

ATHE encourages centres to combine the study of ATHE management qualifications with a work placement relevant to the unit the learners are studying.

The ATHE Level 5 Extended Diploma in Management is a 120 credit size qualification and is the equivalent level to the 2nd year of a degree. The content of this qualification is a focus on managing communication, business organisations in a global context, people management, finance for managers as well as an understanding of the research skills and personal development expected of a manager.

Additionally, learners have the opportunity to study for the smaller 60 credit Diploma qualification.
