ABDO approved as a Registered Centre

The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) has approved the Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO) to be a registered centre, offering CMI qualifications from November 28, 2024. 

The courses, which were delivered online, were the level 5 certificate in management and leadership (three different courses) and the level 5 diploma in management and leadership. 

As a registered centre, ABDO will work in collaboration with CMI, focusing on the training delivery and student support, while CMI will be responsible for the assignment assessment. 

Nick Walsh, head of corporate development at ABDO, commented: ‘We have worked with the CMI for a number of years as an e-centre, but this new approval will give ABDO scope to look at broadening delivery options and courses in future.’
