An accredited qualification for current and prospective managers. This programme gives Team Leaders & Managers the skills, disciplines and confidence to manage their team effectively and add a great deal more value to the organisation - where they have to apply their learning in order to achieve the highly coveted ILM qualification. One of the main responsibilities of a manager is to make sure that employees are satisfied with their job and reaching their full potential. A manager who can energise his or her employees will have a team which has a much greater potential and capability of achieving company goals and objectives. It is therefore vital that a manager has the essential skills to fully support and lead their team to success. This 3-day programme brings together the key leadership skills that you will need to be an effective manager so that you can return to the workplace and deliver tangible results. All of our ILM Programmes are provided in partnership with The BCF Group, which is the ILM Approved Centre we deliver under.

This is how it looks: Delegates booked on Classroom and In-House courses will continue to have access to their trainer online throughout the days that the course is booked to run. Prior to a delegate's course start date, they will be enrolled on our e-learning platform (in partnership with BCF Group) for the course they are booked on to. They will also be given contact information for their trainer, and details of how to access the online workshops. Delegates will not require any special IT equipment. A desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or a mobile phone with internet and audio capability is all that is required. Delegates taking ILM Qualifications will then proceed to the book review, video review and work based assignments with 12 months tutor support as appropriate, and in line with our previous arrangements. We hope you agree that this blended learning experience represents the safest way to continue supporting our clients and delegates during the Coronavirus disruption. In-House Courses As well as being one of the most popular open courses, we can also arrange this course as an in-house programme for companies and organisations who wish to develop a number of their managers at the same time, and would find an in-house course at their own premises much more suitable. Scheduled Courses On-Demand Course - Self-paced The online course option includes a comprehensive course manual, book reviews, useful guides and personalised tutor support. You will also be able to upload assessments online and receive online feedback. Our online training option gives you 24/7 access to our learning platform for the duration of your course. The programme elements and assignments can be completed as quickly as you like, with the only time limit being that the final assignment has to be submitted to ILM within 12 months of your registration on the programme.
