For Individuals
For Employers
The ILM Level 3 in Leadership and Management course is designed to equip managers and aspiring leaders with essential skills in managing teams, driving performance, and implementing change.
This course is crucial for businesses aiming to enhance managerial capabilities, improve productivity, and foster effective leadership across the organisation.
This course is ideal for current and aspiring first-line managers, team leaders, supervisors, and office managers responsible for managing teams and projects.
It is also suitable for individuals preparing for their first management role.
The course is delivered through classroom or online learning and practical assignments.
Assessments include written assignments, reflective reviews, and work-based projects submitted online and marked by your ILM tutor. This flexible delivery method allows participants to learn at their own pace while applying their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
There are no formal qualifications required to enrol in this course. However, it is recommended for individuals aged 18+ with at least two years of full-time work experience or three years of part-time work experience, particularly those in or aspiring to management roles.
We suggest this experience level as the assessments are based on real-life scenarios and experiences. They are much more difficult to complete without this experience.
The ILM Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management is different from other courses as it is specifically targeted at aspiring managers or those taking their first steps into leadership roles.
However, completing an ILM leadership and management level 3 award with TSW is different again as we focus our approach even further.
Rather than simply providing generic management training, our expert tutors work to your schedule and take the time to understand your business and industry to implement a curated training plan tailored to your specific team.
We’ve found that this unique approach delivers an excellent pass rate, generates strong training ROI, and ensures the knowledge imparted in the courses stays in your business.
The course duration can vary depending on the chosen qualification (Award, Certificate, or Diploma) and the learning pace of the participant.
Based on those factors, it can typically take 2-12 months to complete a qualification, with a maximum support period of 24 months to ensure flexibility for all learners.
Effectiveness can be measured through the successful completion of assignments, observed improvements in management practices, feedback from team members, and overall performance enhancements.
Regular reviews and performance assessments can also help in tracking progress and identifying areas for further development
