Chartered Manager gives you credibility that you are a business leader

When you find yourself moving up the career ladder within a specialist or technical profession, often it can suddenly feel like you’re the little fish in the big pond all over again. Surbjit Kaur, now a senior management consultant for EY, started out as a research scientist – and credits the confidence she needed to branch her career out into management to Chartered Manager.
Because of my science background, I was always questioning if I was doing things the right way, like I would do if I was qualified in management… Chartered Manager status gave me the confidence to be able to make that shift from a totally scientific background to the management and leadership role that I play now.
