8.3 Qualification Structure
Discussion

Many management
specialisations appear across
the existing qualifications in an

‘emerging’ leaders / entry level
as a separate level and/or
qualification?

8.3 Qualification Structure
Discussion
Paper Ref.
Item
8.3.7
The Advanced Diploma of
Management (Human

incorporated into other
qualifications at this or higher
levels, or removed altogether?

What should be the content of
the Graduate Certificate /
Diploma of Strategic
Leadership?

8.5 Recognition
Discussion

Do you know of any nonaccredited management

Comment / Feedback
8.6 Skill Sets
Discussion
Paper Ref.
Item
8.6.1
A Skill Set is a formally
recognised unit / group of units
of competency that delivers
competency in 'small chunks of
skills'. They may lead to a
qualification, but are most
useful where training time is
limited and/or the full breadth of
a qualification is not required.
Comment / Feedback
Is there scope for Skill Sets
within the leadership and
management provision, and
what areas should they cover?
How would they be aligned with
more general qualifications?
