  7. ILM Level 5 Qualifications in Leadership and Management

ILM Level 5 Leadership and Management Online Course

  • Complete At Your Own Pace
  • Tutor Support Throughout

This qualification best prepares leaders and managers to overcome the challenges presented by the modern workplace. With a focus on teams, collaboration, change and the new world we work in, this qualification is available as an online course at Certificate level.

It is designed for project managers, department heads, and other practising middle managers, and will help to develop skills and experience, improve performance and prepare for senior management responsibilities.

The programme also enables leaders to better manage and adapt to the rapid pace of change in the workplace – primarily brought about by the rise of technology. And it empowers them to inspire their teams and guide them through the challenge.

We believe it has never been more important for leaders to develop their skills in this area to minimise disruption and make the most of the opportunities.

Change is inevitable, but it can also be difficult. Many find change uncertain and unsettling, and that brings challenges for leaders and those driving change.
