Lean Management Thinking

The Junior Management Development Programme is structured by CQM to deliver eight modules over eight months. Each delegate has six work based assignments to complete, which are linked into a course project. Each delegate presents his or her course improvement project on the last module to his or her senior management. CQM and their own managers support the delegates throughout the programme.

On successful completion of the six work based assignments and the course project the candidates are assessed by an internal and external verifier. Once their work is accepted they are issued with a BTEC certificate.
