Improving leadership and Management qualities

The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) is Europe’s largest awarding body for leadership and management qualifications. It is also a professional membership body for leaders and managers — providing a wide range of career support services to members.

ILM qualifications are practically based, designed to complement the individual’s role at work. Aligned to the UK’s National Qualifications Framework (NQF), ILM qualifications begin at level 2, such as the ILM Award in Team Leading, and continue up to level 7, such as the ILM Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Executive Management. ILM also offers NVQs; these include the Level 5 NVQ in Management. Other specialist qualifications cover skills in volunteer management, business start-up, coaching, and personnel management. All ILM qualifications have been accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA).

Membership of ILM is open to leaders and managers of all levels. Grades start with studying membership — for individuals taking ILM qualifications, to Companionship — for senior executives selected personally by the Institute. Five grades of membership entitle the member to use post-nominal letters - Affiliate (AInstLM), Associate Member (AMInstLM), Member (MInstLM), Fellow (FInstLM) and Companion (CInstLM). Membership is validated by an official membership certificate and membership card.

Members receive a wide range of services to help with their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) including access to e-books, e-courses, events, and specialist management help.

The membership journal of ILM is called Edge and is published 9 times a year. It is distributed to ILM members, organisations offering management training and HR directors.

History

ILM was formed in November 2001 through the merger of the Institute of Supervisory Management (ISM) and NEBS Management. It is an organisation within the City & Guilds Group but has independent awarding body status. Based in Lichfield and London, ILM approves a network of centres worldwide to deliver its qualifications.
