Level 5 Qualifications in Leadership

The ILM Level 5 qualifications in Leadership are specially designed for middle managers looking to increase their leadership knowledge and skills.

The Award in Leadership is a short, single-unit, qualification exploring leadership roles and theories, self-leadership, emotional intelligence, winning and maintaining commitment, setting and communicating direction. It is particularly useful for middle managers who lack the opportunity to engage actively in leadership but who are preparing to do so, or for managers employed in a leadership role who are keen to underpin their practice with a clearer knowledge of the principles of leadership.

The Certificate in Leadership expands on the award with a second unit focusing on the 'leadership journey' - a progressive programme using action learning plus a reflective log to develop leadership skills in the workplace. This qualification is designed for middle managers, particularly those preparing to move into a more senior leadership role, who are required to lead larger groups of people to achieve organisational goals.
