What is ILM?
The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) is the UK’s
premier body for leadership and management qualifications. Part of
the City & Guilds’ group, ILM was formed in 2001 by the merger
of The Institute of Supervisory Management (ISM) and NEBS
Management.
Who recognises
these qualifications?
ILM qualifications are based on
recognised occupational standards and
provide professional recognition of skills and achievement. ILM qualifications are widely recognised by
many organisations within the public and private
sectors.
Are they
available to anyone?
Yes. They are open to anyone regardless of age, background or
previous qualifications.
Are there any
exams?
No. ILM qualifications are generally based around a structured
training programme. Candidates are required to complete a specified
number of learning hours which is different for each course.
Candidates are also required to complete either short written
'segment reviews' on or immediately following the course modules, or
'reflective reviews' in the workplace. Some qualifications also
require candidates to complete a work-based assignment.
Which ILM qualification is
right for me?
ILM courses and qualifications are designed to be developmental,
meaning that it is often appropriate to choose a qualification which
is one or two levels above your current job role.
Our staff will be
happy to advise you and help you choose the right qualification and
level.
Will I have to
attend any training courses?
Yes. Each ILM course requires candidates to undertake a defined
number of hours of training. This is generally completed as
in-company training in groups of 8-10.
How long will
it take to achieve the qualification?
That will depend on the level of the course and how the programme is
planned. Some ILM courses may be completed in several weeks whereas
others may take 12 months or more.
How much
written work is there?
Segment reviews and reflective reviews are generally about 100-125
words each. If your qualification requires a work-based assignment,
then this is a substantial piece of written work which will
generally be 1000-1500 words. This will usually take several weeks
to complete.
Where will the training take place?
As we deliver ILM courses as in-company programmes, the training
will take place at your work location or a suitable external
location agreed with your company.
How often will
the training take place?
This will depend on the course structure and is flexible to meet the
needs of each organisation. Our programmes are generally divided
into a series of one or two-day modules.
How many days of training will I need?
Please refer to the course outline for the typical duration and
number of training days.
What is a typical group size?
We generally recommend a group size of 8-10 candidates to ensure a
cost-effective programme. However, we are able to work with smaller
groups if required.
How much will
it cost?
Please contact Best Practice for fees and a quotation.
