Very informative course and well worth doing
I have found the CMI Level 5 Certificate to be an extremely valuable and professionally enriching qualification. The structure of the programme is well aligned to real-world management practice, allowing immediate application of theoretical models and leadership frameworks into my day-to-day role as a Programme Manager.
The standard of resources provided throughout the course has been exceptionally high. Learning materials are current, relevant, and clearly structured, enabling deep engagement with key topics such as performance management, organisational change, and strategic leadership. The integration of contemporary theory with practical case study examples has strengthened my ability to critically evaluate my own leadership approach and organisational practices.
The academic support available has also been of a very high standard. Guidance on assignment structure, Harvard referencing, and critical analysis has been clear and accessible. The availability of tutor feedback has ensured that expectations are transparent and that development is continuous. This support has increased my confidence in producing work to a high academic and professional standard.
Overall, the CMI Level 5 Certificate provides a rigorous yet supportive learning environment. It has enhanced my strategic thinking, strengthened my leadership capability, and directly contributed to improvements within my department. I would strongly recommend this qualification to aspiring and existing managers seeking to formalise and elevate their leadership practice.

Outstanding support for Level 8…
Outstanding support for Level 8 Strategic Direction and Leadership!
My experience studying the Level 8 Strategic Direction and Leadership qualification with Next Level Impact has been exceptional from start to finish. The programme is academically rigorous, well structured, and clearly designed for experienced professionals working in complex and regulated environments.
The Next Level Impact framework is excellent. From the induction stage onwards, expectations were clear, supportive, and well communicated, setting a strong foundation for success. Each module was exceptionally well designed, logically structured, and progressively built strategic depth, critical thinking, and real-world application of leadership theory.
The support throughout was outstanding. In particular, the assessment and developmental feedback provided by Martin, my assessor, was of an exceptionally high standard. His feedback was detailed, insightful, and genuinely developmental, consistently encouraging originality, critical analysis, and the effective application of theory to strategic leadership practice. This significantly strengthened my confidence, independence of thought, and strategic insight at Level 8.
Communication was consistently clear, professional, and supportive, and I always felt both challenged and well guided throughout the programme.
I would highly recommend Next Level Impact to anyone seeking a high-quality, professionally focused Level 8 qualification delivered with expertise, integrity, and a genuine commitment to student development and success.

Level 8 study is intentionally rigorous, and it’s encouraging to hear that the structure, academic depth, and practical application supported your development as a strategic leader working in a complex environment.
I’m particularly pleased that the assessment and developmental feedback helped build your confidence, independence of thought, and strategic insight. Supporting experienced professionals to think critically, challenge assumptions, and apply theory meaningfully to real-world leadership practice is central to our approach.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for the professionalism and commitment you brought to the programme. I wish you every success as you continue to apply your strategic leadership capability in practice.

Hands-On Skills, Excellent Guidance
I chose CMI over a more theoretical DBA program because I wanted to enhance practical skills. The ‘good practice’ advice in the workbooks has been particularly useful, as the suggested reading materials encouraged practical thinking. Martin was also very supportive throughout, providing invaluable feedback on my submissions.

From start to finish, Martin was always approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. The feedback I received was detailed and constructive, helping me to strengthen my understanding of strategic concepts and apply them effectively in my role.
Martin provided clear direction, encouragement, and practical advice that made a real difference. Communication was always prompt and professional, and I always felt supported, even when juggling studies with a busy work schedule.
