A global alumni network that can open doors for you
The number of Henley undergraduate students who report career progress within six months of graduation
More than three quarters of our student body is black and female
The most frequent feedback on the ACMP that we receive isn't about what is learned in the modules, it’s about the shift in confidence. Graduates tell us they started accomplishing things they previously thought were out of reach.
Graduating with my ACMP is a milestone that fills me with immense pride, as I was the first in my family to graduate with a diploma.
Balancing my studies at Henley with my responsibilities at work was challenging, often requiring late meetings and weekend group sessions. However, I remained steadfast in my belief that there was nothing I couldn’t achieve.
If you are an early to mid-level manager who is ready to turn your practice into a professional discipline, this programme is for you. We’ve designed the ACMP to be rich and results-oriented without pulling you away from your career for weeks at a time. The programme is at the same level as a national diploma but is designed for people who don't have the luxury of full-time study.
Early to mid-level manager with at least two years of working experience.
You will also need a previous qualification at NQF level 5 to qualify for the Henley ACMP.
You might qualify for recognition of prior learning if you have at least five years of work experience.
