Currently, one can attain the CMI Chartered Manager status by means of three pathways that are dependent on the mix of their qualifications and management experience.

If you are planning to start your management career and have no idea of it, you’d better take a look at the Foundation Chartered Manager status, which is a professional award for aspiring early-career managers. This status can also lead you to the CMI Chartered Manager status.

So, let’s know about the Foundation Chartered Manager status first before knowing the Full Assessment route, which is one of the three pathways.

Foundation Chartered Manager:

Foundation Chartered Manager, fCMgr, is a professional title that is designed to help you stand out from others and start your management career journey by having all the benefits of CMI membership for your support.

This unique title will come with recognition for you as an individual and demonstrate that you have the foundation skills required to be an effective manager. In addition, this status shows your commitment to further developing those skills to provide much better business results.

So, start your journey to attaining the ultimate professional distinction for any manager or leader, full Chartered Manager status, which can lay a positive effect on your earning potential, confidence and career progression.

Having known about the Foundation Manager status, let’s know about the Full Assessment route:

1.   Full Assessment:

You can choose the Full Assessment pathway under the following conditions:

Either you have a degree-level qualification that is business, management or leadership focused and 3 years of experience in a management role.

Or, you possess a minimum of five years of management experience (equivalent to Level 5 or senior/operational management level) if you are without a management specific qualification.

Let’s know how to register:

To register, contact the team via cmgr@managers.org.uk to request registration and fix payment.

What’s the cost and what’s involved?

You need to complete a written application, which summarizes your management and leadership journey to date and showcases some of your key attainments.

After that, you will be introduced to one of CMI’s independent Chartered Manager assessors. They will fix an online professional discussion with you to know more about your application, which will be an opportunity for you to bring your experiences and skills to life.

After completing the professional discussion, the assessor will completely review both elements of your application and let you know about the outcome.

It will cost you £650+VAT and an ongoing annual membership fee where applicable.

Submission of the paperwork:

Complete and submit CMI’s application template for CMI assessment depending upon your chosen method.
