Programme Overview: Level 6 Diploma in Business Management + MBA
The Level 6 Diploma in Business Management + MBA at LEAP Education is a degree-level

The programme carries 180 credits
and is designed to be completed in 24 months,
with structured tutor support from enrolment through to certification.
Executive search firms in emerging markets are actively filtering out candidates who cannot demonstrate formal mastery of strategic finance and organizational design, regardless of their operational track record. This credential urgency stems from a global shift where multinational boards demand a unified language of risk, revenue, and restructuring from every senior hire.
You will gain the authority to lead cross-border mergers, defend complex P&L structures to skeptical stakeholders, and command the salary premium associated with master’s-level strategic competence. Instead of relying on tenure to justify your vision, you will present data-driven roadmaps that secure board approval for high-value initiatives and organizational transformations.
This path is for senior managers, operations directors, and high-potential specialists in cities like Lagos, Nairobi, Dubai, and Singapore who have hit the glass ceiling of mid-level management. It targets professionals with five to ten years of experience who are currently executing strategy but lack the formal academic backing to own it. If you are tired of being the de facto leader without the title or the compensation, this qualification provides the recognized evidence needed to step into the C-suite.
