The capable manager is a stand alone or 'linked' course through the open university. The 'ou' way of doing things is exceptional in that it uses the latest of teaching materials to facilitate learning, I completed the course last year and already it has been improved and re-published in order to keep up to date with changing principles and thinking.
The course itself can be used as a stand alone certificate or as part of a degree course constituting 1/6 of a degree. Alternativly it can be counted as half of your first year towards an MBA (masters of business adminstration) and is therefore worth while. The second part, the diploma, follows on directly afterwards and is one of the most commonly held management qualifications in the country.
