How well-known is the “Management Specialist” program, and what is its image among potential employers?

The Federal Professional Examination for “Management Specialists” has existed in its current form since 2003. The program offers managers at the lower and middle management levels the opportunity to gain qualifications in both personnel management and business administration. Although the program is well established and has broad support from the responsible body, the certification still carries little weight in the business world. As a result, there are few job postings seeking management specialists with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education. What is, however, in high demand across all industries are professionals with potential for leadership roles and relevant continuing education, further training. And the qualification as a Management Specialist with a Federal Diploma of Higher Education is ideally suited for this purpose.
