Dual accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI)
Develop a full range of management and leadership skills to make a real impact in the third sector with our CMI accredited Chartered Manager (Charity) Degree Apprenticeship. Study for an honours degree in management while you work, with no tuition fees.
Building on the success of our Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA) and including material from ARU’s ground-breaking suite of third sector leadership courses, this is a specialist university qualification aimed at those wishing to build a career in charity or social enterprise management.
An apprenticeship is a job with training, combining practical experience with academic learning.
At least 20% of your contracted working hours will be classed as 'off-the-job'. This time will be dedicated to developing the knowledge and skills needed to meet the requirements of the apprenticeship, and therefore is not part of your usual work duties.
The off-the-job learning will be delivered through online University-led learning sessions and activities, one-day workshops, and practical learning experiences in your usual work setting.
The off-the-job learning for our Chartered Manager (Charity) Degree Apprenticeship is delivered online, and workshops take place on our Cambridge or Chelmsford campuses.
You will be assessed at the end of each module you undertake (on-programme assessments) which will contribute towards the final award of your qualification.
You will also undertake an End Point Assessment (EPA) to complete your apprenticeship.
The EPA for this apprenticeship is independently assessed and takes place when all on-programme assessments have been successfully passed.
Our BA (Hons) degree is ‘dual accredited’ by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), meaning that it has already been aligned and mapped to the CMI qualification. This lets you gain an additional qualification as part of your academic studies, and access to the exemption (streamlined) route to Chartered Manager.
“My degree apprenticeship will set me up with skills for life. My day-to-day job is supplemented by the theory I'm learning on my course. I’ve really noticed how far I've come.”

“I would 100% recommend this apprenticeship to others. The CMDA covers all aspects of business and gives you a great insight to what it takes to be a manager in the future.”
