ILM Level 5 Qualifications in Leadership and Management Skills

Introducing the Qualifications
The ILM Level 5 Award and ILM Level 5 Certificate in Leadership and Management Skills have been designed to give practising or aspiring middle managers a solid foundation for their formal development in this role.

The ILM Award is a concise qualification made up of two mandatory units. In the first unit, 'Understanding the management role', participants explore the nature of the middle management role and critically evaluate their own managerial ability. In the second mandatory unit, 'Assessing your own leadership capability and performance', participants explore leadership styles within their organisation, the commitment and motivation of their teams and their own ability to motivate teams to meet organisational goals.

The Certificate builds on the leadership and management skills gained in the Award through a choice of additional units covering a variety of leadership and management topics. (Please note participants are not required to undertake the Award as a prerequisite and may join the Certificate directly). From 'Developing the manager as a critical thinker' to 'Making professional presentations' the Certificate in Leadership and Management Skills can be tailored to meet the varying needs of participants across all employment sectors.
