Overview

  • Level 4
  • Reference ACC-MM-4-20

IMI Accredited Assessments were created to help the retail motor industry keep on top of constant, rapid changes in technology, legislation and working methods by encouraging and measuring the current competence, knowledge and ability of those working within it. By providing proof of current competence, IMI Accredited Assessments benefit both individuals and their employers.

The Middle Manager route is designed for individuals with responsibility for achieving business objectives and targets within agreed budgets through the management of managers, their teams, and relevant business systems.

Working in an operational management role, the Middle Manager has more responsibility than a First Line Manager, and typically contributes to strategic plans and the creation of business plans based on business objectives that deliver the strategy.

The individual should be in full-time employment with at least four years’ experience in a middle management role.
