Upskill Managers in 12 Weeks with a New Accredited Project Management Course

The industry-leading project management qualification is provided by MOL in partnership with the Chartered Management Institute.

Many managers are now required to have flexible skills to manage projects effectively within their own teams, meeting objectives on time and within budget.

And according to the Chartered Management Institute, 82% of newly recruited managers are ‘accidental managers’, high performing individuals who are rewarded with the added responsibility of a managerial position, but not given any further training or guidance.

Managers who have received formal training are more likely to feel confident in their management abilities (83%) compared to those who have not (71%), so a solution is now at hand which provides these managers with an accredited qualification.

Trusted online provider MOL has expanded their partnership with the Chartered Management Institute to offer the Level 5 Certificate in Project Management, an industry-leading qualification designed to arm managers with the knowledge and skills to be able to manage a project effectively alongside their teams and day-to-day responsibilities.

The 12-week course is delivered through MOL’s Live Online study option, providing a structured approach to learning with regular live webinar touchpoints with a tutor.

Managers will learn how to:

• Research approaches to management and leadership that can lead to dynamic results in innovation, product development, performance improvement, change, customer service excellence, strategy and problem solving

• Initiate, plan and monitor projects for results in business success, effectively managing change and growth

• Reduce the risk of failed projects by understanding all stages of a project to avoid missing deadlines, not understanding or achieving desired outcomes, incurring additional costs etc.

With MOL’s advanced online learning platform, CMI’s industry-accredited qualifications and flexible delivery options based around business and learner needs, the course provides assurance for any organisation looking to upskill their managers.

Melanie Nicholson, Managing Director of MOL, said: “We’re delighted to be adding the Level 5 Certificate in Project Management to the list of CMI courses we offer. We’re a registered centre and partner of the CMI, which means our course content carries the highest recognition.

“By combining their industry-leading expertise with our passionate tutors and innovative Virtual Learning Environment, there’s no better way for managers to gain a certified project management qualification and advance their career.”

“Businesses will benefit from managers with the knowledge and skills to drive innovation and organisational success while avoiding costly recruitment expenses. It’s a win-win for all involved.”
