Qualification Description

This qualification reflects the role of managers and technical specialists responsible for the implementation of competitive systems and practices in an organisation.

This qualification provides the skills and knowledge required by a manager or technical specialist to determine and supervise the strategy for implementing competitive systems and practices in a large organisation and in the organisation’s value chain, or in an organisation where the implementation of competitive systems and practices is particularly complex.

This qualification provides the skills needed to improve efficiency in an organisation through the implementation of competitive systems and practices.
