Level 3 First Line Management Courses

Three management qualifications are available at this level, an Award, Certificate and Diploma. Each one has a different number of units to be studied.

The Level 3 qualifications in First Line Management are designed for supervisors and first line managers who wish to build on and develop their existing management skills and knowledge.

The qualifications are also suitable for both newly appointed or aspiring managers due to the ability to create a highly tailored programme built from a wide variety of available units.

The difference between the three management qualification options is the number of units you study and pass. Each unit is given a “credit value”, and for each qualification there is a minimum number of “credits” to achieve.

So you can choose the size of management qualification that is just right for you. Later you can add more units and “upgrade” your qualification until you obtain the Diploma. The number of credits for each first line management course are:

Award = 1 unit (6 Credits)

Certificate = 2/3 units (13 credits)

Diploma = 6/7 units (37 credits)

Apart from the Diploma option where certain units are mandatory, it is possible for you to have a free choice over the units you wish to study.
