ATHE’s level 7 qualifications in Healthcare Management provide generic management skills for those planning to or working in the healthcare sector with additional units that are specifically targeted at those working in the public sector.
The qualifications deliver the skills and knowledge that meet the needs of managers on a domestic and international level. They offer management qualification routes for those learners without existing business or management qualifications (e.g. with qualifications in other areas) or experience as an alternative to moving straight into an MBA programme.
