Choice of topics and size
Each ILM VRQ is made up of mandatory units, covering the essentials, plus a choice of optional units that cover a range of general and specialist topics.
This ILM’s unitised qualifications come in three different sizes:
- Awards –concise qualifications covering the basic knowledge and skills in the subject
- Certificates – for those wanting a more comprehensive programme in their chosen subject
- Diplomas – for those looking to gain the complete range of skills, knowledge and understanding in their subject
The awards, certificates and diplomas at each level are nested to encourage progression, without having to repeat topics.
Choice of level
ILM qualifications are available at Levels 2 to 7 on the Qualifications and Credit Framework, meaning they cater for all levels of expertise and experience. As leaders and managers seek to develop new responsibilities and progress in their careers, they can be sure ILM offers a qualification to consolidate their experience and deliver the skills they need to progress. For example an aspiring or newly appointed team leader could take an ILM Level 2 Award or Certificate in Team Leading, while a senior manager would be more suited to an ILM Level 7 Award, Certificate or Diploma in Executive Management.
