The NZIM Diploma in Management is designed as an exit point from the NZ Diploma in Business for those students who wish to have a basic understanding of management practice but do not wish to specialise in business studies.

 

It also provides a platform for students wishing to transition to degree programmes or advanced management qualifications such as the NZIM Diploma in Management (Advanced).

 

While most students complete the qualification using papers from the NZ Diploma in Business, other courses of study may be approved for credit to papers with the prior approval of NZIM. These courses of study may require NZIM moderation to ensure they are equivalent to NZ Diploma in Business papers in their scope and quality.

 

The qualification consists of six papers from the NZ Diploma in Business or their equivalent in other qualifications. You need to pass in four compulsory business papers plus two optional papers in management areas to complete the qualification. You may register for the NZIM Diploma in Management and the NZ Diploma in Business in most polytechnics and many other private training establishments.
