Do you want to develop the knowledge and skills to break into today’s digital-first world of business management?
Arden University’s CertHE Business Management will introduce you to the latest business and technical skills needed to lead and manage in today’s modern business environment. The CertHE is a recognised qualification in its own right and provides an entry route to degree-level study. This is a great option if you feel ready to study a degree course but don’t have the necessary qualifications usually required, such as GCSEs or A levels.
Exploring business areas such as finance, digital marketing, innovation, and people management, you’ll graduate from your CertHE Business Management with the foundations you need for future study or work in a thriving field.
This CertHE will provide you with knowledge of the fundamentals of business alongside how modern organisations work. During your studies, you’ll gain a wider understanding of business functions and develop practical skills in business management and leadership.
The course gave me the confidence and skills to go for senior jobs that I wouldn’t have previously. I have been promoted several times since.
This is a 1-year course available through full-time blended learning, which gives you additional study support and is ideal if you’re still unsure about committing to a full 3-year degree course. Once you’ve completed your CertHE, you’ll be able to continue onto Level 5 (year two) of the degree course if you wish to do so. To find out more about the Cert HE, click here.
You will receive the same excellent support provided to all Arden students including success coaches, academic skills tutors and workshops, our careers team, and much more. You will also receive an additional four hours of online academic knowledge and study skills sessions as part of your course.
If English is not your first language, we’ll also give you one and a half hours of weekly academic English support.
Unlike on more traditional courses, you won’t need to sit any exams on the CertHE Business Management. Instead, your assessments have been designed to help you apply your learning to real-world business scenarios. That means you’ll be better prepared to apply the skills you’ve gained on the course to your professional role once you graduate.
At Arden University we consider applications on a case by case basis. If you have significant work experience, have qualifications you have gained elsewhere, or a degree or qualification that isn't a clear pathway to this degree - we are more than happy to discuss your application.
We welcome anyone onto our CertHE course who can show us their determination to complete the qualification. You’ll just need to complete our one-week Introduction to Higher Education which mirrors the timetabled hours of your programme. Once you’ve passed this, you’ll be able to start on your CertHE.
We’ll give you all the support you need to succeed. Then, when you graduate from the CertHE course, you'll be able to progress on to the rest of the degree course if you decide it’s right for you.

Whilst you can read your study materials on your smart phone or tablet, to make the most of your learning experience, you will need access to a laptop or computer (we recommend one running the latest version of Windows), and a good stable internet connection.
Here at Arden University we strive to provide a fresh and unique approach to your business and management education. With ideas and experiences taken from employers and thought leaders across the world, we give you the opportunity to put proven business skills and techniques into practice during your studies. I look forward to welcoming you to the Arden University family.
During the course you’ll gain a range of in-demand and transferable business skills, helping you break into roles across today’s business sector.
You’ll also have the chance to progress on to Level 5 of our BSc (Hons) Business Management and complete your full undergraduate degree.
Your CertHE in business management will open up opportunities across all aspects of the business sector. However, we expect that you’ll want to continue studying and complete the BSc (Hons) Business Management.
If you decide you want to jump straight into the workplace, we have a dedicated careers and employability team that will support you during your studies and help you achieve your professional ambitions.
Our Fast-Track Your Career promise has been developed to allow you to pursue your master’s degree with us - with no tuition fees to pay - once you have successfully completed your Arden undergraduate degree course.
On successful completion of your bachelor’s course, you can simply apply for the Arden master’s degree of your choice and you will then be able to progress with your postgraduate education completely free of any additional course tuition fees.
