ILM LEVEL 7 - CLASSROOM COURSES

   In-House Option Available

 

With our classroom options, you benefit from training days with our experienced tutors.

You’ll reap the rewards of their business-relevant, tried-and-tested approach and will be encouraged to bring live business issues and case histories with you on the course.

As well as your time in the classroom, you will need to complete three work-based assessments.

This is estimated to take three hours a week for 12 months. We offer full tutor support to help you achieve this.

  • Course materials and workbook
  • ILM project fees
  • ILM certificate fees
  • Lunchtime buffet
  • Refreshments
  • Flexible tutor support

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ILM LEVEL 7 CERTIFICATE AND THE DIPLOMA?

The only difference is in the amount of logged coaching that is required post-course. If you want to achieve the Certificate, you need to complete 20 hours of logged coaching with 2-3 people. For the Diploma, you need to complete 60 hours of logged coaching with 6-9 people.

This is why the course dates are the same for both the Certificate and Diploma. Delegates attend the same course whichever qualification they are working towards – it is just the post-course coaching hours which are different.

An excellent course. I’ve learnt so much and feel much more competent in coaching and mentoring. Many thanks to Dan and my fellow delegates who were fantastic to work with.

Gary P.

I really enjoyed the training and felt it was all relevant. The pace and structure of the training was good and Dan's knowledge and advice excellent. I came away motivated and excited to move on with the rest of the qualification.

Yvonne O.

Kirsty was excellent, she gave so much insight and opportunity to discuss and ask questions. She didn't swerve away from hard questions and she gave honest feedback. I feel like I can be a better coach from her training, she gave a lot to think about and her personal experience of coaching was invaluable. Thanks!

Regina V.

As with all ILM accredited programmes, participants will need to complete the post-programme activity in order to achieve their ILM Level 5 Certificate or Diploma in Effective Coaching and Mentoring.

These elements have been designed in order to show to ILM that you are able to put the skills and techniques learned on the programme into practice. We provide full support and guidance in completing these final elements.

We ask you to come prepared with issues which you are currently experiencing that you would be happy to discuss and be coached on.

Come prepared with 2 or 3 scenarios at work that you may apply your coaching learning to during your training. See this as a training pitch to get prepared before returning to the office.

We also send out a short document containing questions and exercises which will help our coaches understand you better and work with you in order to receive the best training.

To achieve this ILM qualification, participants will have to complete the following post-course activities:

3 x work-based assignments need to be completed. We offer 1 year of support included in the price, but you have up to 3 years from attendance and registration to submit them. Embedded in the assignments, the Certificate will require delegates to complete 18 hours of logged coaching with 2-3 people. The Diploma will require delegates to complete 54 hours of logged coaching with 4-9 people.

Additional tutor guided learning will take the format of book and video reviews with ongoing tutor guidance and support via phone, Skype, Zoom or face-to-face.

You will receive support from our assessors who will be there to guide you through your assignments. Information on how to book sessions with your assessor are found on the online refresher course which you will be given access to once you have completed the 2 day course.

Each participant on this business coaching course will be issued with a workbook to assist them both during and after the course, which will contain information, guidance and forms to assist with the coaching sessions.

Participants will also complete a Paradigm psychometric report and receive a year's membership with the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM).

You will receive templates to assist with the three ILM work-based assignments, to ensure you complete your qualification successfully.
