Choice of level

You can be sure that ILM offers a qualification to consolidate your experience and deliver the skills you need to progress. ILM have qualifications to suit you at every stage in your career. From a Level 2 Award or Certificate in Team Leading, to an ILM Level 7 Award, Certificate or Diploma in Executive Management.

Qualification types
ILM qualifications fall into four main types:

1. Vocationally Related Qualifications (VRQs) – these form the bulk of ILM’s qualification portfolio. They are made up of units which combine to form Awards, Certificates and Diplomas, VRQs are the most popular type of qualification because they are nationally recognised, flexible and offer great routes for progression, into your chosen career.

1. Scottish/National Vocational Qualifications (S/NVQs) – these qualifications are also nationally recognised and are also linked to occupational standards. They are achieved entirely through demonstrating existing competence. So for learners seeking to enhance their knowledge VRQs may offer the best route for progression. However S/NVQ’s will be phased out in September 2010 and will be replaced with the new QCF and SVQ units for both the competence and knowledge qualifications at Levels 2 and 3.

 

1. International Management Qualifications (IMQs) – are specially developed qualifications for managers and leaders studying abroad, and are universally recognised.  

• Customised qualifications – ILM works with large organisations to develop specific VRQ units to suit their needs – the ultimate in bespoke qualification provision.
