Accreditation Opportunities for WOSP & ICSC(A) Graduates
Staffordshire University can recognise advanced standing for the WOSP course graduates and the ICSC(A) course graduates to progress onto the Postgraduate Certificate (PgC) in Management and the Postgraduate Diploma (PgD) in Management. Personnel successfully completing the PgC and PgD can then go on to complete a dissertation and obtain the full MBA.

Following a mapping exercise by Staffordshire University's Business School, in conjunction with 22Gp accreditation staff, WOSP graduates already qualify for 30 credits (or 2 modules) of the 60 credits required to complete the Postgraduate Certificate in Management (which is a third of the MBA).
