The flexible composition of each qualification allows STAMC to work within the ILM framework to design a course of study perfectly suited to the needs of each learner and the overall business.
Which Qualification is right for me?
These qualifications are referred to as Vocationally Relevant Qualifications (VRQs). All assignments are based on work-based tasks and projects so that learning is taken out of the classroom and practically imbedded directly into the learner’s role.
To achieve a qualification, a participant must successfully complete units of learning. The number of units varies depending on the level of the qualification undertaken. These units span a wide range of topics including personal leadership development, managing teams, project management, performance management and change management. Units can be selected to focus the qualification onto specific areas of interest or relevance.
