ATHE Level 5 Combined Extended Diploma in Business and Management

This combined Level 5 qualification is designed to enable learners to acquire and deepen both their technical understanding of specific areas of business and their understanding of key management skills. Whilst Level 4 learning introduces the learner to higher level knowledge and skills, providing access to supervisory and junior managerial business roles, Level 5 learning strengthens and develops existing technical and managerial understanding, setting up the learner for broader managerial roles and introducing more senior management issues and themes, to be developed at Level 6.
