Level 4 Diploma in Business and Administrative Management

The IAM Level 4 Diploma in Business and Administrative Management is recognised as a Level 4 programme within the UK QCF (Qualification Credit Framework). It may be broadly compared with the first year of a 3-year BA(Hons) degree course, or first year of a 2-year foundation degree course.

The course comprises four mandatory groups (each of which is made up of two units), plus two optional units.

Recommended total study hours: We recommend 6-10 hours of study a week to sucessfully complete this qualification. Our experience suggests that actual hours of study to achieve the Level 4 Diploma are lower where the student has relevant practical knowledge and experience.

Suggested period of study: Deltic recognise the challenging (and rewarding) nature of this course, and that individual prior knowledge, learning style and personal circumstances, will all affect the overall time to be taken in completing this course. Nonetheless, generally we would advise students to sit the course over three or four examination sittings, giving a total period of study of around 12 -15 months.

Assessment method: 3-hour sat examination per mandatory Group.  Optional units are internally assessed by Deltic and moderated by the IAM.

Award: Achievement of the Level 4 Diploma offers the chance to upgrade to Associate membership of the IAM, and the right to use the professional designation Incorporated Administrator.
