Course Overview

This suite of Level 7 Strategic Management Diplomas is designed to enable learners to both deepen
their knowledge and understanding of Strategic Management and customise it to reflect their own
learning needs. A mandatory selection of core units underpins each qualification outcome meaning that
learners have a firm foundation to their study. However, each qualification offers a number of pathways
meaning that learners can also move forward to study the optional areas of strategic management most
directly relevant to their needs.
The qualifications are suitable for learners to study both in college/classroom settings and as distance –
learning programmes. Each unit is supported by an ATHE assignment which, requires the learner to
complete a small number of focussed tasks designed to demonstrate relevant business knowledge and
skill.
The qualifications have been designed to maximise and facilitate learner engagement. Each unit has
signposting to synoptic learning and assessment opportunities across the entire suite of units, ensuring that learning and assessment is connected and holistic. Learners and tutors can see and understand
the relationship between aspects of unit content clearly and easily. Also, each unit is also signposted to
Study Skills and Employability Skills opportunities derived from ATHE’s standards. This ensures that
learners and tutors have the opportunity to relate aspects of learning to broader study and work-related
skills.
