Higher-Certificate in Management & Business Administration


Bournemouth Business School International (BBSI), our highly-accredited Business School and English College in England, offers international students the opportunity to learn English in England while also studying the concepts and acquiring the skills required for careers in management and business. Our Higher-Certificate Course in Management & Business Administration comprises 30 lessons (22.5 hours) weekly and is of 24 weeks duration.

BBSI courses in Management & Business Administration are carefully designed to enable students at language levels of Intermediate or above to study the concepts and learn the skills required either for careers or further study in management and business.  Participants can prepare for a variety of English and business qualifications and prepare for and acquire one of 3 different Chartered Management Institute (CMI)  First - Line Management awards.  Courses are conducted throughout the year around a busy social and activity programme.
