Begin your journey from potential management material to outstanding first-line manager with a short qualification from the Institute of Leadership and Management.
ILM qualifications are highly prestigious: they’re awarded by the City & Guilds of London Institute, which was founded in 1878 and has a Royal Charter. They’re trusted by global organisations such as Santander to increase innovation, teamwork, and strategic thinking, and they train 70,000 managers each year.
With us, you can get the same globally respected ILM qualification as you would in a classroom, with all the benefits of flexible online learning:
You don't need any formal qualifications to enrol on this course, but you should be 18+.
You'll benefit the most from the course if you're a current or potential first-line manager with at least two years' full-time (or three years' part-time) work experience.
Your course is fully online.
To achieve the Award, you'll study your choice of 2 units from the following:
For full details of what you’ll learn on each unit, download our ILM course guide.
Please note that where the course discusses legislation and policy, this will be based on UK law.
If you'd like more comprehensive first-line management skills, the Certificate offers a wider range of topics.

ILM Level 2 qualifications are designed for current or aspiring team leaders and supervisors. They're perfect if you're just starting out in your management career.
You could study the comprehensive Level 2 Certificate or the shorter Level 2 Award.
ILM Level 3 qualifications are for junior and first-line managers. They're ideal if you have (or will have) management responsibilities but have no formal training.
Choose between the wide-ranging Level 3 Certificate or this course, the bite-sized Level 3 Award.
ILM Level 5 qualifications are designed for middle managers and department heads. They're set at undergraduate level and will develop and extend your existing leadership skills.
Study three units on the Level 5 Certificate, or two on the Level 5 Award.
We offer leadership and management qualifications from two world-class awarding bodies, the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM).
Both are highly prestigious, internationally recognised, and will give a huge boost to your skills and career – so how do you choose which one is right for you?
Firstly, it depends on where you are in your management career. We offer the following CMI and ILM qualifications:
If you’re a mid-level manager choosing between ILM and CMI, there are a few things to consider.
If you’re looking to become a Chartered Manager, then CMI is right for you. The CMI is the only professional body in the world that can bestow Chartered Manager status.
CMI qualifications are also ideal if you want to deep dive into professional leadership theory and practice. You’ll study fewer modules than on an ILM qualification, but you’ll cover each topic in greater depth.
CMI courses are highly strategic in focus, making them perfect if you want to develop your high-level strategic management knowledge.
ILM qualifications, on the other hand, are highly practical, focused on helping you apply your workforce management skills in real-life situations.
They’re great if you want to touch on a broader range of hands-on management topics, as the modules are shorter than CMI, allowing you to study more subjects in less depth.

You'll submit these online and they'll be marked by your ILM tutor.
