Level 5 Certificate in Business and Administrative Management
The IAM Level 5 Certificate in Business and Administrative Management is ideal for managers who wish to gain skills in specific business and administrative management techniques but are unable to commit to full time education.
A choice of two distinct pathways, each leading to an individual level 5 certificate, offers learners flexibility to study units that specifically interest them. The course can be studied full or part-time and should take around six months to complete.
The qualification is accredited by the appropriate qualification Regulatory Authorities.
qualification aim
This qualification is based on the IAM’s definition of administrative management, namely that the administrative management function supports organisations in planning, organising, directing and controlling their business activities across all functional areas. Thus administrative management and administrative managers have a key role in ensuring that businesses gain and maintain their competitive advantage.
qualification structure
This qualification has two distinct pathways, each consisting of three mandatory units. Each pathway leads to an individual level 5 certificate. Candidates need to achieve a minimum of 30 credits to complete the qualification.
assessment
Each pathway is assessed by a synoptic examination paper. This means that three mandatory units are assessed by one assessment, and minimises the assessment burden for candidates.
Certification and grading
The units are not graded individually; candidates may pass or fail. However, they will be informed of the percentage value of their achievement. On the successful completion of the full qualification they will receive a qualification certificate graded as pass, merit or distinction.
