  1. Completed  and passed all our qualifying examinations up to Professional Part 2
  2. Completed and successfully defended our licensing qualifying research project.

The PEQP is thus open to working managers and executives who have either a Masters Degree or equivalent professional qualifications, or Advanced Diplomas in addition to significant Executive working experience, `to attain the Professional Part 2 qualification.

The course structure enables the student to develop all round skills and knowledge in the field of Professional Business Management. This structure adopts a multi disciplinary approach where students are expected to acquire an understanding of core business functions that applies to many business and public sector organisations.

Cases related to the set disciplines are distributed to candidates at least 4 weeks before the set dates of the examination.

Students are expected to undertake analyses of these cases on their own or with other candidates. On the set examination date, students are expected to provide their answers to the case study questions presented on that day. This will be a 3 hour open book examination.

Competency will be assessed on the basis of their ability to solve problems, and to provide logical and coherent solutions to the identified problems.
