ATHE Level 4 Diploma/Extended Diploma in Management

ATHE Business and Strategic Management Qualifications provide progression from levels 4 to 7. All ATHE management qualifications are on the QCF and have been accepted for progression by a number of higher education institutions.

ATHE encourages centres to combine the study of ATHE management qualifications with a work placement relevant to the unit the learners are studying.

The ATHE Level 4 Extended Diploma in Management is a 120 credit size qualification and is the equivalent level to the 1st year of a degree. The core content of this qualification is for those entering a role in management, with content focusing on business environment, communication skills and resource management, including an understanding of the research skills and personal development expected of a manager.

Additionally, learners have the opportunity to study for the smaller 60 credit Level 4 Diploma qualification.
