Leadership and Management Skills
For practicing managers
ILM’s new Leadership and Management qualifications are designed for practicing managers who want development that reflects real roles, real decisions, and real teams.
Spanning levels 2, 3 and 5, the refreshed qualification suite builds leadership capability at every stage of a manager’s career. With flexible units covering project and people management, personal development and managing change, learners can shape a qualification that genuinely fits their role and ambitions.
There’s no fixed route. Instead, leaders choose the skills and capabilities most relevant to their responsibilities – making development practical, personalised, and impactful.
Developing practicing managers at every stage of their career
Our qualifications are structured to support progression across early, mid, and senior management roles:
With scalable bite-sized Awards or comprehensive Diplomas for flexible development.
Assessment grounded in real work
Using a flexible, portfolio based approach, learners demonstrate competence through a range of assessment methods, including reflective accounts, professional discussions, and work based outputs. This ensures learning is directly relevant to current responsibilities while supporting future career goals.
Together, this makes ILM’s Leadership and Management qualifications the ideal choice for practicing managers seeking to develop and validate their capabilities in real workplace contexts.
