Development Programmes

Development Programmes

All delegates taking a development programme with Impellus, regardless of whether they’re completing Level 3 or 5, have a choice to make between the ILM Award and the Impellus Certificate of Learning.

Though both are fantastic options, we understand the importance of making the right decision for you or your colleague, so we recommend looking over the following information before making your choice.

The ILM Award in Leadership and Management

The ILM Award in Leadership and Management is an internationally recognised qualification, fully supported by the in-house assessment team here at Impellus. It’s designed to help individuals take their learning from the courses and apply it directly to their own situations and organisations.

Learners take three one-day courses at Level 3 and two two-day courses at Level 5, followed by a written assessment for each one.

The assessments take the form of several essay-style questions and are completed in the learners’ own time, allowing them to work at a pace that suits them and their organisations. The programme lasts for a maximum of 2 years from the day of their first course.

Throughout the programme, learners will have full access to support from the Impellus assessment team, including instructional videos, feedback, writing tips, and personal tutorial sessions.

On completion of the qualification, learners will receive a printed certificate in recognition of their achievement.

ILM Level 3 Courses

• Leadership Skills Development

• Delegation and Time Efficiency

The Impellus Certificate of Learning

The Certificate of Learning is different from the ILM Award in that it’s not a qualification. Instead, it’s a formal package of learning. Instead of completing any written assignments, learners on this route will take an extra training course, giving them a total of 4 one-day courses at Level 3 and 3 two-day sessions at Level 5.

This route is ideal for those learners who are not looking to achieve a qualification or perhaps don’t excel in academic writing. As well as the extra course to attend, there is an extended range of titles from which to choose.

At the end of your programme, you’ll receive a framed, printed certificate in the post in recognition of your learning. This certificate will also document the CPD points awarded.

There are no differences in price between the two options, so you can freely choose the one which will most suit the individual.
