Upon successful completion of the Leading Strategic Change through Creativity and Innovation module, and attainment of the CMI learning outcomes you will gain a Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice and will be awarded Foundation Chartered Manager status, which will enable the use of the designation ‘fCMgr’ after your name.

We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
This course is delivered wholly online, and as such will use a variety of up-to-date and innovative teaching methods, including online access to virtual simulation spaces as well as digital experience platforms, such as Aula, to create learning environments. The Engageli Platform, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and other video conferencing software may be used to help maintain engagement in online and distance delivery.
As this course is wholly taken online, all contact will be digital using innovative teaching methods.
The number of contact hours may vary from semester to semester, however, on average, it is likely to be around two contact hours per week, per module.
Additionally, you will be expected to undertake significant self-directed study of approximately 5-10 hours each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.
The contact hours may be made up of a combination of face-to-face teaching, individual and group tutorials, and online classes and tutorials.
As an innovative and enterprising institution, the University may seek to utilise emerging technologies within the student experience. For all courses (whether on-campus, blended, or distance learning), the University may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via online technologies and methods.
Since COVID-19, we have delivered our courses in a variety of forms, in line with public authority guidance, decisions, or orders and we will continue to adapt our delivery as appropriate. Whether on campus or online, our key priority is staff and student safety.
This course will be assessed using a variety of methods which will vary depending upon the module.
Assessment methods include:
The Coventry University Group assessment strategy ensures that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards achieving the intended learning outcomes.
It is hoped that this course will draw students from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences. You will have an opportunity to share your background with others on your course and will be encouraged to learn from your fellow students. This is complemented by the international experience of the current course team, who have taught and led in simulation centres around the world, present at global conferences and who are part of international networks (staff may be subject to change).
Due to these key globalisation cornerstones, the curricula of the courses reflect contemporary international and global developments in health simulation. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is the term that Coventry University uses to refer to ‘virtual mobility’ experiences. These are included within the curriculum and provide you with an opportunity to interact with international universities and industry professionals without leaving your current location. You may also have the opportunity to use COIL to develop intercultural competencies and digital skills, while working with others on subject-specific learning tasks or activities2.
