ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership and Management

With increasing pressure to produce better results with less resources, leadership and management capabilities are more important than ever. This programme develops the knowledge, skills and behaviours which are needed by highly effective people managers.

This programme duration is approximately seven months, consisting of three days facilitation-led training and two days of assignment workshops.

These workshops are highly participative, using facilitated discussion, case studies and group work. The workshops promote reflective review and encourage delegates to find opportunities to apply the learning in the workplace. Delegates are supported with an action learning-based coaching session and will complete two work-based learning assignments, which are assessed and verified by the ILM to achieve their accreditation.
