A Chartered Management Report is the written submission at the heart of the Chartered Management Institute’s (CMI) professional review process for Chartered Manager (CMgr) status. It is a structured, evidence-based competency document, typically 2,000 to 3,000 words, that demonstrates how you have applied your management and leadership skills to deliver measurable impact across CMI’s professional standard framework.
Chartered Manager is the highest individual status awarded by CMI the only UK professional body authorized to certify it. It carries genuine credibility with employers, governments, and professional bodies in the UK and internationally. CMI data consistently shows that Chartered Managers earn an average of 26% more than non-chartered peers at equivalent levels.
At CDRAustraliaEngineer, we prepare professionally written Chartered Management Reports for managers across all industries and sectors, from engineering and construction to healthcare, finance, education, and public sector leadership. Our writers understand the CMI professional standard framework and build every report around your real management experience and career achievements.
Chartered Manager (CMgr) is the highest status that can be achieved in the managerial profession, awarded only by CMI and recognized throughout the public and private sectors across all managerial disciplines.
CMgr status confirms that you have:
Once awarded, CMgr appears as a postnominal after your name, either CMgr MCMI (Chartered Manager Member) or CMgr FCMI (Chartered Manager Fellow), and is maintained through annual CMI membership and active CPD.
To apply for CMgr, you need either a degree-level qualification in management, business, or leadership plus three years of management experience or at least five years of management experience at an operational or senior management level without a management-specific qualification.
Note: Members who already hold Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status with five years or more of management experience are eligible for the full CMI assessment route to Chartered Manager. If you already hold CEng, your route to CMgr is streamlined. We advise on the most appropriate route during your free consultation.

The CMI professional review assesses your management impact across its core competency framework covering achieving results, leading people, managing change, operating responsibly, and building relationships.
Every CMgr competency report must provide specific, outcome-focused evidence across these five areas.
Achieving Results: Real-life situations illustrating how objectives are set, performance managed, work delivered, and results achieved. Assessors are seeking a history of sustained delivery.
Leading People: Demonstration of the skills you have used in motivating, coaching, mentoring, and developing individuals and teams. It covers dealing with conflict and how you foster the trust required for people to perform effectively.
Managing Change: Give examples of when you have championed, facilitated, or managed organizational change. Cover issues of resistance, clear communication of the change, and performance maintenance.
Operating Responsibly: Shows ethical behavior, understanding of the responsibilities and commitments of governance, a drive toward sustainability, and accountability to people outside of your core team.
Building Relationships: Evidence of your ability to build and sustain working relationships with others such as peers, superiors, customers, suppliers, external contacts, etc., and how you have used such relationships to achieve organizational goals.
Understanding the assessment process helps you prepare a stronger submission.
Step 1: Eligibility Check and CMI Membership
You select your path to qualification or experience. You become a member of CMI at the correct level. You register to claim the CMgr.
Step 2: Written Application (Chartered Management Report)
You provide a structured written statement (2000-3000 words) that records your experience and key achievements as a leader/manager. This document is your Chartered Management Report, and it forms the most important component the CMI panel will assess.
Step 3: Portfolio of Evidence
Evidential support, which would accompany your written statement. This can include data on your performance, project success, team feedback, strategic documents, etc., which attest to your stated competencies.
Step 4: Professional Review Panel Assessment
Your submission is considered by a CMI professional review panel. All candidates will not necessarily be interviewed; some candidates will be asked to attend a follow-up telephone interview/discussion with a panel assessor.
Step 5: CMgr Awarded
Applicants who are successful in the process will be awarded CMgr status, postnominal, and access to CMI’s ongoing development resources.
For engineers who already hold Chartered Engineer status through IMarEST, ICE, IMechE, IET, or another Engineering Council UK licensed body, CMgr serves as the next professional step in recognizing the management side of an engineering career. It formally recognizes leadership, management, and strategy skills developed by engineers throughout their careers.
Your CMgr written statement should reflect the following:
As CDRAustraliaEngineer, we reframe the report to communicate this experience in terms of management competencies as preferred by CMI assessors, not engineering terms.
