Course overview

Become a better manager, 100% online.

The CMI Level 3 Certificate in First Line Management and Leadership is a focused online qualification for practising or aspiring team leaders, supervisors and first line managers who want to develop the skills needed to manage people and respond to workplace challenges.

You’ll build a stronger understanding of what managers are responsible for, including how to support workplace change, solve problems and make confident decisions.

More in-depth than the CMI Level 3 Award, but more focused than the full CMI Level 3 Diploma, this Certificate gives you a practical route into management development while keeping your studies manageable.
