ILM Level 3 Qualifications in Leadership and Management Skills
Introducing the Qualifications
The ILM Level 3 Award and ILM Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management Skills have been designed to develop the leadership and management skills of practicing or aspiring first line managers.
The ILM Award in Leadership and Management Skills is a concise qualification consisting of three mandatory units. Learners are taken through problem solving and decision making techniques in the first unit, explore leadership styles in the second unit, and finally in the third unit of this qualification learners look at motivating and developing teams.
The Certificate in Leadership and Management Skills builds and broadens the understanding gained in the Award (please note learners may join the Certificate directly and are not required to undertake the Award as prerequisite). Here, learners take the same three mandatory units as in the Award then complete three optional units from a wide selection. From 'Writing for business' to 'Working with costs and budgets' the Certificate in Leadership and Management Skills can be fully tailored to meet the varying needs of learners across all employment sectors.
