ILM Leadership and Management at Level 4 and 5

Higher level, flexible courses aimed at managers and those who aspire to become influential and effective leaders.

Description

The ILM is the UK's largest and most influential awarding body for leadership and management qualifications and therefore carries a certain kudos.
The unit-based qualifications are flexible and provide building blocks to work towards the Certificate at Level 5 by studying the units to make up the required number.

A series of half day training courses in leadership and management is being offered at our Station Park campus.

Participants will be able to attend the event as an opportunity to learn specific skills which are designed to improve confidence and efficiency as a manager, and deliver a return on investment on behalf of the employer. There is the opportunity to network with others who may be experiencing similar problems, and the sessions will include activities such as discussions and problem solving to make them engaging and interactive.

Delegates will also have a course booklet which contains the key learning points and additional material for reading and reflection.

The short course programme for this term offers the following 4 units:

· Developing people in the workplace (L4)

· Leading innovation and change (L5)

· Understanding financial management (L4)

· Managing projects in the organisation (L5)

How long is the course?

Each unit will be studied in a 3 hour interactive session from which learners will have gained the basic understanding of this specific topic. This may be followed by tutorial support for those who have opted for ILM accreditation by completing the assignment. The assignment will need to be submitted within a given time.

How will I be assessed?

There will be a unit assignment which will need to be completed successfully. The credits attached to each unit can lead to an ILM qualification. An Award or Certificate at levels 4 and 5 may be achieved by accumulating credits at the right level and credit value.
