[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Professional development is at the core of ARMA’s mission, which is why we’ve redesigned our suite of Certificates to provide you with the skills you need to adapt to our ever-changing environment.

Foundation

A new introductory Certificate, aimed at those just starting in their careers and with no experience in the sector. It covers the broad range of topics required for an entry- level understanding of research management.

Advanced

Designed as a follow on from the Foundation Certificate, this Advanced course has been developed to provide an insight into the technical and professional skills needed in research management today. It looks in greater depth at the skills, roles and activities required for the profession and supports students to develop a broader view of the issues.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Pathway 1

Why learn with ARMA?

We’re a recognised ATHE Centre in the UK, which means that our Certificates are regulated by Ofqual, with standards aligned with the national Regulated Qualifications Framework. Note: our new Certificates are currently progressing through the Ofqual review process and it is anticipated that they will receive formal accreditation by 1st October 2018.

Our qualifications offer a flexible approach to study. Not only can you register on a pathway that suits your needs, you can also work on assignments that add value to the day job.

We also provide online support to our students via a variety of platforms such as webinars, email, telephone and cohort forums. You will also seek the help from a professional mentor to help work with you through your modules. It couldn’t be easier to access the support you need to pass your Certificate.

When is the next intake?

Recruitment for the first cohort on our new Certificates is open now! The Certificates kick off on 1 October 2018 with an online induction session. Click here to find out more information on each of our certificates and get in touch if you have any questions!
