The Course

The Institute of Administrative Management's Certificate and Diploma courses are internationally recognised as among the most comprehensive management qualifications.  The Business Administration module is the first step to achieving it.  Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions as well as tutor-marked assignments and past exam papers and examiner feedback.   We include additional materials in the form of a separate manual  for each module.
