Chartered Manager Designation

Why become a Chartered Manager (C.Mgr.)?

Chartered Manager (C.Mgr.) is the highest internationally recognized designation in management and leadership. C.Mgr. combines rigorous business education with professional-level experience, setting you apart from other managers in the workforce as someone who can effectively contribute to Canada’s economic success. 

A Chartered Manager is someone who has developed competencies in: Leadership, Strategy, Finance, Accounting, Management Operations and Organizational Analysis. Chartered Managers are part of an international network of management professionals who deliver value to organizations at the highest level. This unique combination of degree and designation will set you on a fast track to career success. The Global MBA is developed by Queen Mary University of London, a member of the prestigious Russell Group.

CIM | Chartered Managers Canada has developed international reciprocity with the UK Chartered Management Institute (CMI) for the Chartered Manager designation. This reciprocity allows Chartered Managers to work globally, having their designations recognized worldwide. When you complete your MBA you will also qualify for the Chartered Manager designation in the UK. Click here for more details on how to apply under the reciprocity agreement.

The virtual learning environment is user-friendly and nicely optimized for mobile, which allows me to study on the move – whether on my daily commute or travelling further afield for work. Not coming from a finance background I've enjoyed learning more about the factors that influence investment decisions. I already feel better equipped to understand my organization, and I will put this to good use in my own role when evaluating opportunities with prospective partners."
