CMAE’s European Club Management Diploma has now been awarded to over 100 Managers, with 47 Diplomas gained during this 2014/15 term.
CMAE reports that the most recent Diplomas went to participants in Management Development Programmes (MDP) Part 2 held in Bournemouth, Stirling, Rome and Madrid during the 2014/15 term.
The Club Management Diploma is available to all CMAE delegates who attend our MDP 1 and MDP 2 courses, then pass the multiple choice exam on the 10 core competencies of a modern club manager, successfully fulfil the obligations of the group executive case study, including a presentation to a ‘Board’ on their findings and finally submitting and passing a work based assignment of 1,200 – 2,000 words on a situation at their club that they have resolved using the strategic management tools learnt during the two programmes.
Since its launch in 2012 there have now been over 100 recipients of the Diploma. The Diploma is valid for 5 years and in order to maintain this status, CMAE members must continue to invest in their professional development and obtain 120 continuous professional development (CPD) credits during that 5 year period.
Commenting on this success, CMAE’s Education Policy Board Chairman Kevin Fish said “we are delighted that as a result of these programmes club industry professionals are now securing the Diploma. Their focus and dedication gives their clubs confidence, ensuring that the industry is in good hands with well-qualified professionals at the helm. It is great to see the MDP programme and diploma qualification spreading across Europe, with Italy now generating its first qualified managers with the CMAE Diploma.”
The MDP pathway was originally developed by the Club Managers Association of America and thanks to their vision and generosity, has been given to CMAE who then adapted the materials for the European Golf, Sports and City Club Markets.
