Level 6 — answering for a whole function
Level 6 attests that you carry a whole function before a leadership team: a budget defended, a team led, a result announced then held. The catalogue holds 17 of them, from 75 to 80 credits, that is 750 to 800 supervised hours over 10 to 12 months.
Carrying a function, and answering for it
Manager and professional: at this level the holder no longer receives an objective, they negotiate it. They commit resources, hold a budget, arbitrate between priorities that contradict each other and own what they decided. The qualification attests that capacity to answer for a whole remit, including when conditions worsen.
- Build and defend an annual budget before a leadership team
- Recruit, organise and develop a multidisciplinary team
- Choose between two costly options and document the trade-off made
- Steer by indicators and correct course during the year
- Represent the company before a client, an auditor or an authority
Six functions, six supervised volumes
The hour volume of a level 6 qualification reads as a load: it is the supervised time needed to establish a function. The bar below compares six catalogue qualifications on that single measure, and the 17 qualifications at this level total 85 competency blocks.

- Finance and Administration Manager

Questions about level 6
What experience is needed before entering level 6?
At levels 6 and 7, the main prerequisite is exercised experience: it supplies the raw material for the work required. Admission reviews the functions actually held, the teams supervised and the budgets carried, then builds the path from there.
Can a level 6 qualification be taken while in post?
That is the intended use case: the work is based on the function you hold, and the path runs over 10 to 12 months for 750 to 800 supervised hours. The calendar is issued at admission, dated block by block.
Does a level 6 qualification stand alongside a long programme?
They are two documents answering two questions. The long programme attests a disciplinary field and a credit volume; the professional qualification attests the exercise of a named function. Many files carry both, and the verification page displays them separately.
Are level 6 blocks validated separately?
Yes, as at every level. The 85 blocks at level 6 each yield their own personal attestation, and the full qualification is awarded on the last validated block.
