The entry requirements for the CMI Level 5 Operational Management HTQ typically include holding a minimum Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in a relevant subject area, alongside demonstrated competence in English and Maths—usually evidenced by achieving at least a Grade C (or 4) at GCSE level. For candidates without formal qualifications, relevant managerial or operational experience may also be considered to meet the entry criteria. Applicants will be required to submit a personal statement at enrolment.
