The Course

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

When studying at this level it is also essential to read around the subject and our course will give you guidance on areas of personal research.  The IAM also have an extremely useful web site, which we advise students to consult regularly.
