Sound familiar?

You were brilliant at the job.
Then they made you the boss.

I’m winging it, and hoping nobody notices.

There’s a conversation I’ve been putting off for weeks.

People who were my mates last month now report to me.

I lie awake replaying a chat or dreading the next one.

Here’s the thing. None of this means you’re bad at your job. You were promoted for being good at it, then left to work out the hardest part alone. That’s exactly what these two days fix.

Live vs self-paced

Only one gets you there in 2 days.

Self-paced online

Pass rates aren’t always published — resits are common
Work through it alone, on your own schedule
6–12 months is the norm to actually finish
Support, if any, is a message you send and wait for
Cheaper upfront — but no live cohort, no coaching

What your two days actually look like

Two focused in-person days, a week apart. Here’s the shape of them.

Day 1 · Understanding Leadership

09:30 Your leadership style and when to flex it
11:00 Motivating real people (including the difficult ones)
13:30 Leading a team through change
15:30 Putting it to work on your actual challenges

Day 2 · Performance Management

09:30 The difficult conversation, step by step
11:00 Setting objectives that drive results
13:30 Running a performance review that works
15:30 Decisions under pressure; a system to use

Trained on day 1 & 2 → the Monday after you’re using it for real → months on, confident, credible, promotion-ready

Honest answers to what you’re probably thinking

“Will it actually work, or is it just theory I’ll forget by Friday?”

Every model is taught against a real situation you’re facing right now so it sticks, because you’ll use it in your very next 1:1. If training’s never changed anything before, it’s because it wasn’t about your team.

“Isn’t this just a nice-to-have I could get off YouTube?”

A podcast doesn’t go on your CV. As one hiring manager put it, they “tick off leadership and management the second they see ILM.” You get recognised proof and two days practising the skills for real.

“Will I look out of my depth?”

Cohorts are capped at 15 and built on discussion, not lecturing. Whatever level you start from, you’re in the right room. Learners’ most common words: comfortable, no pressure.

Questions, answered

Will this help me progress and do employers actually respect ILM?Decorative

No course can promise a promotion, but it gives you the two things that make the case for you: a nationally recognised qualification on your CV (ILM is part of City & Guilds, exactly what employers look for in first-line managers) and the visible confidence of someone ready for the next level.

Why does this cost more than a self-paced course?Decorative

Because it does the job in two days instead of leaving it as something you’re meant to get round to for the next six months. You’re learning from a real trainer with real people in the room, not working through a portal alone — most people find that both more effective and more enjoyable. And if your employer’s covering it, which is common, the price difference isn’t really the deciding factor.

Why ILM rather than CMI?Decorative

Both are respected and either strengthens your CV. ILM is especially well established for new and first-line managers and you get a recognised qualification in two days, rather than a months-long programme.

Do I need any qualifications to join?Decorative

No. If you manage people, or are about to, you’re ready.

What’s included in the £895?Decorative

Everything from training, materials, ILM registration and the qualification itself. Nothing else to pay. You can also spread payment across 3 interest-free instalments with Klarna.

Is there an early bird saving?Decorative

Yes — £895 covers everything: live facilitation, all course materials, and your ILM Level 3 certification. If you book more than 21 days before your cohort starts, code EARLY100 takes £100 off at checkout. Inside that 21-day window, the full £895 applies. This is a genuine early-booking offer tied to real cohort dates, not a permanent discount, so it may not run indefinitely.

Is it really just two days?Decorative

Yes. Plenty of leadership qualifications drag on for months of evening study and portfolios. Ours is an accredited ILM Level 3 course run as two focused in-person days, a week apart. Small groups too, capped at 15.

Can I book myself, or does my employer need to?Decorative

Either, plenty of people self-book. If you’d like your employer to fund it, we’ll invoice them directly. The qualification is yours and fully portable. If you’re paying yourself, you can also spread payment across 3 interest-free instalments with Klarna, or pay in full or in 30 days.
