As such, the Centre undertakes an annual audit to ensure its continued compliance with CMI in the UK, enabling us to grant certifications. Since 2005, the Centre at the H.

Due to disruptions after the September 2017 hurricanes, the Centre was dormant until February 2022, when activities resumed.

HLSCC offers modern technologies and comfortable physical learning spaces. Our CMI classrooms are located in the Centre for Applied Marine Studies on the south campus, which overlooks a beautiful natural lagoon. Our caring lecturers are all approved by CMI in the UK to teach the programmes. A blended learning environment allows learners to connect virtually for presentations, classroom activities and the lecturer's office hours; assignments can be uploaded, and digital learner resources are easily accessible. The Chartered Management Institute in the UK also provides a plethora of information in its vast online library that all registered learners can access from anywhere. We use MOODLE, an open-source learning management system used for blended learning which helps educators create and manage online courses. Our training materials are easily accessible to learners, and assignments are uploaded to the learning platform where the lecturer and/or advisor can review the learners' work and suggest ways to improve assignments as applicable. The final assignments are sent to be marked by UK assessors through their online marking service and marking sheets are returned within six weeks. For transparency, learners are provided with a receipt upon successful submission of assignments, and the evaluator’s marking sheets with comments are forwarded to both the learners and the lecturer /advisor. From the Introduction Day, each learner is provided with information to guide them through the programme. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management Leadership Practice consists of five intensive modules. At the beginning of each module, the lecturer will provide an impactful presentation to introduce the principles and concepts. Participants can expect the module sessions to be interactive, with meaningful activities included to help create a stimulating learning atmosphere, whether persons are face-to-face or virtual.

In the UK, nine levels represent the education system. For example, level 0, or Entry Level, covers courses aimed at basic life skills through to level 8, which denotes PhD level qualifications. The levels show how challenging the learning is. Qualifications at the same level are broadly equal in how challenging they are. However, qualifications at the same level may vary in content or the time required to complete them. Chartered Management Institute | H.
