Distance Learning Management Training Courses

The ILM Level 5 qualifications in management have been specially designed to give practising or aspiring middle managers a solid foundation in their formal development in this role.

The Award in Management is a concise qualification aimed at developing basic middle management skills and knowledge. The mandatory unit, ‘Understanding the management role’, examines organisational structure and function, the roles and responsibilities of middle managers and the effect of communication and interpersonal skills on managerial performance.

The Certificate in Management builds and broadens on the areas covered in the Award. Here, ‘managing improvement’ is explored, both in terms of organisational and personal improvement. ‘Developing the reflective manager’ concentrates on the analysis of personal strengths and weakness and how to work through problems using creative techniques. The crucial skill of ‘making a financial case’ is also explored.

The Diploma in Management develops a comprehensive range of basic middle management skills, assisting participants in gaining the knowledge required at this level. All participants are able to choose from a range of optional units to build their qualification; this high level of flexibility allows individuals or their employers to custom build a qualification that focuses on the key areas most relevant to their role, industry or organisation.
