In the mandatory units, all learners will cover the essentials of managing their own professional development, setting objectives, providing support for team members and how to plan, allocate and monitor team work. There are a range of optional units allowing learners scope to choose those areas most relevant to them, including, but not limited to, customer satisfaction, compliance and quality audits, performance, team leadership, market analysis, grievance and disciplinary procedures, risk assessment and management, recruitment, meetings, tendering processes, implementing change, professional relationships, resources, equality and diversity, learning and development and the environmental impact of work activities. Objectives of the qualification include preparing learners to progress to a qualification in the same subject area but at a higher level or requiring more specific knowledge, skills and understanding, meeting relevant programmes of learning, preparing learners for employment and supporting a role in the workplace.

This qualification is the competence component of the Advanced Apprenticeship in Management.
