IMI Diploma in the Management of
Why we introduced this programme The precursor to the Diploma in the Management of is the IMI Diploma in Regulatory Management which was first run in 2011 and was developed in conjunction with regulatory agencies to develop the management capabilities of key staff. The programme has been open only to those working within regulators so as to provide an environment where confidential issues can be discussed safely. The reputation of the IMI Diploma in Regulatory Management has led to different organisations who work in a regulated environment to seek a programme with broadly similar learning objectives for their staff to develop their compliance capabilities. This is what past participants have to say about their experience of completing the IMI Diploma in Regulatory Management... Participants from ComReg on the IMI Diploma in Regulatory Management programme have benefitted greatly from their participation on this course. The course content is carefully designed to directly reflect the challenges that face personnel working in the now very important regulatory area. It also equips the participant with the leadership and management skills to excel in this domain. The benefits and skills gained from this course have translated very effectively and transparently into the subsequent work performance of candidates who completed the programme.
