Cambridge International Diplomas in Business enable individuals to develop theoretical understanding, alongside practical ability, of a variety of business disciplines at all levels of the management structure. The Diplomas are available at Standard and Advanced Levels, and are ideal for anyone wanting to broaden their understanding of business as a whole, or those seeking to develop specific workplace skills.
The Diplomas are made up of a set of modules, each designed to ensure an individual's ability to understand and apply the principles and practice of a wide range of key business areas. Although each module is self-contained, a clear progression route can be followed through the two Diploma Levels, enabling candidates to build upon the knowledge gained at each stage.
Cambridge International Diplomas are available in more than 80 different countries. The Diplomas are available in a range of business-focused areas to meet different career needs, experience and ability levels.
Scheme of Assessment Most modules are assessed on a fixed date under examination conditions, with the exception of four optional modules - the examination schedule is available on request. Assessment guidelines are set by Cambridge but allow the application of a candidate's own local knowledge and business skills. Assessment for assignments is available on demand; all assignments are externally marked by Cambridge.
