Qualifications and Training

Institute of Management Services qualifications are recognised in the UK and overseas as the mark of professional excellence in our field.

The 'ideal' portfolio of qualification for those wishing to practice management services is probably a first degree to offer ‘general and generic’ analytical, thinking, communication and presentation skills together with a specialist qualification such as the Management Services Certificate to demonstrate knowledge of, and competence in, core management services approaches and techniques.

The Management Services Certificate is a unique qualification addressing core competencies in management services via a flexible, modular structure.

The Management Services Diploma is an additional qualification, particularly suited to those without a first degree who wish to demonstrate higher level knowledge and skill.

Full details of syllabuses, regulations and exemptions are to be found in the Membership and Examinations regulations available from the Institute’s Head Office.

The Institute monitors the availability of conferences and seminars on topics within the Body of Knowledge and publishes a diary of such events on the Institute website alongside events organised by the Institute itself.
