We're thrilled to announce the ABE Level 5 Diploma in Business Management and Leadership is now on the Ofqual register of regulated qualifications. Its official release date is the 4th November 2024.
This is the first qualification ABE has released since becoming part of The Institute of Leadership (IoL). It has been developed with IoL's world-leading expertise in leadership best practice. The result is an exceptional qualification that provides a fantastic opportunity to gain a sought-after dual skillset: a dynamic and skills-focused approach to modern leadership, underpinned by a strategic understanding of business management.
Speaking of the release, ABE's Chief Executive Rob May said, "This is a timely and important addition to ABE’s prospectus. At ABE, we believe that future-facing leaders need to be dynamic, strategic, and equipped to navigate an ever-evolving world. The new ABE Level 5 Diploma in Business Management and Leadership represents our commitment to building those leaders who will not only adapt but thrive in the global business landscape. Combined with world-class expertise from a globally recognised professional body dedicated to promoting excellence in leadership - The Institute of Leadership – the skills acquired with this new qualification will enable learners to inspire innovation, empower teams, and drive meaningful change.”
ABE's Director of Product Strategy Sarah Turner added, "Working alongside IoL colleagues has been exciting and rewarding. We have been able to combine the best of ABE’s qualification know-how from our existing business suite with the IoL’s knowledge and experience in leadership development. The result is a qualification that helps learners to build on their understanding of business to gain the skills needed to develop their leadership capability, and to inspire and support others to reach their full potential."
