Aims of Qualifications

The new BTEC Advanced Award in Local Government Management not only enables candidates to achieve a national management qualification, it also offers a valuable introduction to the full Certificate.

Within a short (30 hour) programme, candidates can now experience the convenience and flexibility of e-learning and – importantly - have the units they achieve count towards the full Advanced Certificate. There is no requirement for candidates to achieve the Award before registering on the full Certificate programme.
