CIHT has partnered with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) to offer a streamlined route to qualify as a Chartered Manager (CMgr).
Chartered Manager is the highest management qualification and is recognised throughout the public and private sectors and across all management disciplines. The partnership means that CIHT members who hold Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), or Transport Planning Professional (TPP) registration with five years or more of management experience are eligible for CMI’s qualified route to becoming a Chartered Manager.
The qualified route is a review of an applicant’s personal skills and expertise in leading people and managing change, and how these skills underpin continually effective performance and make a positive contribution to the individual’s organisation.
CIHT members who demonstrate management competence to the required level will be able to use the post nominal letters CMgr, in addition to their professional designation as a qualified engineer or transport planner, to enhance their professional standing. They will also gain access to CMI’s knowledge resources to support their continuing professional development as managers.
Sue Percy, CIHT’s Chief Executive said: “Our members are often required to demonstrate a high level of management skill in the course of their work. I’m delighted that our professional registrants will have the opportunity to gain recognition for this management expertise through CMI’s prestigious Chartered Manager qualification.”
CMI’s Chief Executive, Ann Francke, commented:
“Management and leadership are vital in delivering the nation’s transportation, which is why I am delighted that we are working in partnership with CIHT. Qualifying as a Chartered Manager confirms management and leadership credentials and will increase their confidence to deliver success.
“Not only will that benefit them personally, but also there are huge advantages for employers in having better managers and confident leaders who achieve results. Our research shows that the benefits are too great to ignore. We look forward to working with CIHT members.”
