Funding for Management Training

Impellus can provide employers with funding for leadership and management training from two different budgets

Impellus delivers funded management training courses and qualifications under two separate initiatives. Please call for full terms.

Apprenticeships

Impellus is a main provider on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP). This means that if you pay into the Apprenticeship Levy we can deliver management apprenticeships directly and you can benefit from the funding available under the scheme.

• When you are spending your own money from your Levy Pot, the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) will contribute 10% funding to your Apprenticeship Training
• When you are overspending from your account, the ESFA will contribute 95% funding

Impellus only delivers Apprenticeships in England. Find out more about government funding for Apprenticeship training.

The ILM Level 3 Diploma in leadership and management is available as part of the Apprenticeship with the ILM Level 5 Diploma available from late 2019. Funding is provided directly from the ESFA.

Application: via Impellus and set up over gov.uk apprenticeship portal

.

Each manager can choose the level at which they wish to train, and the structure of that training.

.

Level 3 or Level 5?

Level 3 works perfectly for line managers in your organisation. Supervisors looking for the next step, through to experienced line managers who have never had structured development.

Level 5 works well for those making the step to senior management level or are directors, principles or trustees.

.

Certificate of Learning or ILM Award?

A Certificate of Learning gives each manager a broad choice and base of training and is formally certified. There is no qualification process to complete.

The ILM Award is a nationally recognised qualification in leadership and management. It requires managers to attend a choice of management courses (see below) and complete a fully-supported online assessment.

There is no difference in price between these structures at each level.
