Course Overview

Taking a modern and digital-first approach, our course content is regularly updated to meet the needs of the sector. That means you’ll gain the leadership skills required to face today’s most pressing health and care challenges. During your studies, you’ll have access to valuable learning and networking resources from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and the Institute for Health and Social Care Management (IHSCM).

This CertHE is the ideal choice if you’re currently unsure about committing to a full degree course, for newcomers wanting to enter the field, and for current professionals looking to gain a qualification to progress their careers. After you graduate, you’ll also have the chance to progress onto our DipHE and gain your diploma or complete a full undergraduate degree if you wish to do so.

Arden is one of the only universities in the UK offering CertHE leadership courses contextualized for health and care. By undertaking this course, you’ll have better opportunities to apply for workplace funding than on a standard undergraduate degree.
