The Certificate in Business Administration & Management (CBAM) qualification is the entry point for all management qualifications across various sectors and industries. It specifically addresses management competencies and introduces key terms, rules, concepts, principles and practices of management that will enable graduates to be informed managers in any occupation. As a NQF Level 4 qualification, it has been designed to provide successful participants with access to higher education opportunities in a flexible approach to life-long learning.
As the scope of management covers four domains: leadership, self-management, people management and management practices, this qualification covers each of these domains with generic competencies, thereby enabling contextualization for specific sectors and industries whilst providing opportunities for people to transfer between various specialisations within business management. This will therefore enable strengthened competencies to better manage systems, processes, resources, self, teams and individuals in various occupations. This programme is intended to empower participants with the fundamental knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate confidently as individuals in the South African business community and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment and changing world of work. Ultimately, this qualification is aimed at improving the productivity and efficiency of managers within all occupations in South Africa.
This qualification is intended for junior managers of small organisations, junior managers of business units in medium and large organisations, or those aspiring to these positions. Junior managers include team leaders, supervisors, admin managers and section heads. This qualification is also useful to existing managers without a formal qualification and people who provide support functions and administrative duties in a business environment. It is the foundation from which all other management qualifications develop.
