Proof Points
ILM commissioned a piece of research with Harris Interactive in order to measure the impact of ILM qualifications on centres, employers and learners from the past 3 years.
All participants who took part have either completed an ILM qualification or currently deliver ILM qualifications. Participants were asked to complete a 10 minute questionnaire about the impact ILM qualifications had on them as a learner, or on their organisation as a centre or an employer.
The main areas measured were:
- Impact of qualifications on employers and learners in terms of improved skills
- Learners improved ability to carry out their job role
- Likelihood to recommend ILM
- Impact of the ILM brand on winning new business
- Return on investment on ILM qualifications
- Perception of ILM qualifications on recruitment
The research took place from 1st September to 3rd October 2016 and received 670 responses.
