How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Training Qualifications UK Ltd has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and Training Qualifications UK Ltd awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Training Qualifications UK Ltd.
The TQUK Level 6 Certificate in Strategic Planning and Leadership is designed to equip individuals with the skills and understanding necessary to serve effectively as Non-Executive Directors.
These are the units Training Qualifications UK Ltd registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Training Qualifications UK Ltd. It does the teaching and the mapping. Training Qualifications UK Ltd sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

How you’d practise it
