Pearson BTEC Level 7 Extended Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership

The BTEC Level 7 Extended Diploma builds on the 135 GLH Diploma and is designed to provide a broad qualification on strategic management and leadership. It prepares learners to work as strategic managers and leaders with optional units in, for example, planning, creative and innovative management, and communication. The Pearson BTEC Level 7 Extended Diploma provides an even broader work-related focus than the Pearson BTEC Level 7 Diploma and is particularly useful for learners who wish to progress to an MBA or other Master’s degree programme.
