CMI Level 5 Certificate in Management and Leadership

A strategic course for professionals ready to lead to a higher evel.

You’ve done the groundwork. Managed teams. Solved problems. Deliver results. Now you’re looking to go beyond, to lead with vision, influence decision-making, and shape strategy. The CMI Level 5 Certificate in Management and Leadership, delivered by LITC, is designed for managers like you who are ready to move into executive territory.

This isn’t an academic exercise. It’s practical, flexible, and taught by people who’ve actually sat at the boardroom table. And it’s built to work around your professional life, not disrupt it.

What’s In It for You?

Executive-Level Learning

This qualification is laser-focused on strategic leadership. You’ll explore how to lead change, build high-performance teams, make big-picture financial decisions, and shape long-term direction.

Real Experience. Real Impact.

You’ll learn from seasoned professionals with C-suite and board-level experience. These aren’t lecturers. They’re mentors who have been where you want to go — and can help you get there.

Designed for Leaders in Motion

This is executive blended learning, which means you can study at your own pace without putting your career on pause. Whether you’re in a senior role now or moving into one, the structure is built to meet you where you are.

What You’ll Learn In The Management and Leadership Course

This certificate focuses on five key areas that shape the effectiveness of senior leadership:

Strategic Leadership and Vision
Learn how to lead transformation, set direction, and build a team culture that thrives in complexity.
Strategic Planning and Implementation
Dive deep into decision-making frameworks, strategic analysis, and performance measurement.
Leading Organisational Change

Strategic Financial Management

Strategic Human Resource Management
Understand how to build leadership pipelines, develop teams, and align talent with long-term goals.

All of this is tied together through a strategic portfolio and executive-level assignments that reflect real business challenges, not textbook examples.
