Congrats! Hopefully it's use will come in to play when you can reflect on some of the theories you studied to help you when you need them most. Good luck!

When are you going to get your level one in spelling???

I think you'll find that my spelling is spot on, and incorrectly use the word "at" rather than "and". Possibly a victim of Apple's autocorrect.

These things go unchecked when excitement takes over. Shame there's always one bell-end who has to try to be a smart arse.
The only consolation is that I can amend my IT error, but sadly in my eyes, you'll always be a bell-end.

Lol @ Warcraft.

No, it was a qualification in Management. Level 7 refers to basically, "Masters"-level academics. Blinkin' difficult it was too! But great fun and I learned a lot about how captains of industry run companies.

Just thinking how I can put it in to action now. Certainly something nice to have on the CV.

Did you have an goal/objective in mind when you started the course (as in "this is what I want to do, and this qualification will help me do it")?

The main goal was to see if I could do it.

I manage at Operational level now, with aspects of Strategic. My current employer has a glass ceiling that my face is well and truly crushed against.
So I'm biding my time whilst looking for something.

Sadly, I've got 2 aspects that go against me - I'm currently working in Further Education, and it gets worse. My specialism is Music Production! biggrin

Congratulations!

I never got near to a level 7 or even level 1 in strategic management.
However after years of hard work and some luck I ended up running a company sales division that cleared over £40 million in revenue per financial year after deducting departmental costs and before tax - got nice commissions too. Then got out and retired before it all went "Pete Tong ;-]"
So don't waste it or you will forget how to - good luck beer
