We offer a range of both accredited qualifications and professional workshops to support both individual and organisational growth.
Leadership and Management
Volunteer Cornwall has been successfully delivering Volunteer Management qualifications since 2012 and as ILM (City & Guilds) approved centre we continue to delivering a suite of courses in Leadership & Management. These qualifications are suitable for those working in all sectors - VCSE, private and public. Join the 70k other people who enhanced their performance with an ILM qualification last year, and fast-track your way to the top with ILM leadership and management qualifications. In addition to continuing our expertise at Level 3, we are now offering progression qualifications at Level 4. These provide an opportunity to achieve a qualification and to develop a peer support network in the volunteer management arena.
