ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership & Management

Why choose us?

This course will still contain relevant detail to develop the leadership and management skills for those working or volunteering in any sector of industry but particularly helpful for those in the community & voluntary sector.

Volunteer Cornwall has been successfully delivering Volunteer Management qualifications since 2012 and this ILM course is an exciting new addition to our programme of management courses and workshops.

About this course

This qualification is ideal if you are going to have management responsibilities but currently have no formal training, and are serious about developing your abilities. It’s particularly suited to practising team leaders seeking to move up to the next level of management, and managers who need to lead people through organisational change, budget cuts or other pressures.
