Who is the course suitable for?
This course is essential for middle managers who are seeking to enhance their management skills and knowledge whilst introducing a variety of management techniques to support their role within the organisation.
The Edexcel BTEC Level 5 professional qualification is designed to be flexible in its approach, with learners able to progress through different sized qualifications from the Award (10 credits), Certificate (20 credits) to the Diploma (40credits and above). Each unit within the qualification has a credit value which can be accumulated to build from the Award through to the Diploma. All units are internally assessed through work based assignments. The BTEC Level 5 qualifications are designed to give learners an understanding of the skills needed within vocational sectors.
What is required to join this course?
The applicant must show an ability to progress to a Level 5 qualification. For learners who have recently been in education, the entry profile is likely to include one of the following:
A level 3 course in a related subject e.g. Business, Management, Administration, Customer Service
An Advanced/Advanced Subsidiary GCE profile which demonstrates strong performance in a relevant subject or an adequate performance in more than one GCE subject. This profile is likely to be supported by GCSE grades at level A*–C
Other related level 3 or 4 qualifications
Appropriate work/management experience
More mature learners may present a more varied profile of achievement that is likely to include extensive work experience (paid and/or unpaid) and/or achievement of a range of professional qualifications in their work sector.
