Enhance & fulfill your general management potential
The Cambridge Judge Business School General Management Certificate of Achievement (GMCA) provides you with an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and skills across fundamental business concepts and practices, and to focus on your personal career development. To achieve the Certificate of Achievement you will need to complete five two day programmes from our extensive portfolio within a two-year period.
There are over 20 programmes to choose from, and you are able to select those that are suited to your individual management development objectives. The GMCA is designed to give you flexibility to choose programmes in topics that meet your personal career objectives in a time frame that does not conflict with your work commitments.
Topics
One of the pedagogical aims of the GMCA is to enable participants to develop a broad general management perspective. We ask that your five programmes are chosen from at least three different topic areas:
Please visit the Open Programmes calendar for an up-to-date list of scheduled two-day programmes.
If you are unsure which of our two-day programmes are most suited to your needs we can advise you on which programmes to select and the options available to you.
If you would prefer a more intensive programme of learning, we recommend our two-week Cambridge General Management Programme, which provides an understanding of the concepts and fundamental principles in key management disciplines, and how to apply them to improve decision-making within your organisation.

Who should attend
The GMCA is designed for highly motivated business professionals who have reached a level within their organisations where they require more breadth and depth across multiple functional areas, or who wish to refresh their thinking in specific management principles. You will be ambitious and looking to develop your skills and extend your global network of colleagues to enable you to move to the next step in your career.
The flexible structure enables you to study in depth those subjects which are of most relevance to you in terms of your personal development goals and the immediate challenges your organisation is facing.

In most USA training programmes there'd be participants with a similar background, but at Cambridge everyone had different experiences so it made the teaching and discussion very rich. It was amazing. I'd recommend the programme to anyone and I will definitely be coming back to Cambridge. ”
