Overview

  • Level 5
  • Reference ACC-SM-5-20

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 Senior Manager route is designed for individuals who have long-term strategic responsibility for an organisation. A Senior Manager will have high level focus; leading the business, establishing principles, culture and vision, to take the organisation successfully into the future. The individual will achieve this through the creation of over-arching strategic and financial plans. They typically lead and empower a senior management team who in turn manage people and teams to deliver the strategy. The Senior Manager is not concerned with operational details but may identify and manage business risk.

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