Our Business Manager program is designed to train operational leaders capable of combining strategic vision, commercial agility, and managerial excellence.
The Business Manager Master’s program allows you to develop solid cross-functional skills: market analysis, customer portfolio management, team leadership, profit center management, and high-level negotiation. You will be trained by active professionals from a variety of sectors (B2B, industry, consulting, tech, etc.) in a stimulating educational environment.
In this context, any material referring to a certified training programme must at a minimum include the information published in the official record: the exact title of the certification, the legal name of the awarding body, the registration date and validity period, the qualification level (for RNCP certifications), and the RNCP reference code.
Training providers preparing candidates for a professional certification are required to use its exact official title whenever referencing its registration in the RNCP. As such, the provider must systematically associate the RNCP code and the official title of the record with the certified programme presented across all communication materials.
From a legal standpoint, the only mandatory access route that must be implemented by the awarding body for any professional certification registered with the RNCP is the Validation of Prior Learning (VAE) pathway.
