Overview
Successful completion of the AMLC has been accredited by CMI at two different levels of qualifications.
The first is the CMI Level 4 Diploma in Management and Leadership (QCF). Some AMLC training
satisfies higher level learning outcomes, hence the second qualification offering of a CMI Level 5
Certificate in Management and Leadership (QCF). The award of these nationally registered QCF
qualifications demonstrates comprehensive knowledge, understanding and potential as a manager and
leader. Both are well recognised by civilian organisations:
