Course Overview:

The ILM Level 5 Award in Management is a qualification that has been specifically designed to give practising or aspiring middle managers a solid foundation in their formal development as a manager.

The Award is a concise qualification designed to develop basic middle management skills and knowledge.

Upon completion of this Award, learners will be able to:

Identify how to critically assess own knowledge, skills and attributes to address development opportunities.

Furthermore, learners can choose from a wide range of subjects to choose suitable optional units to meet their specific needs and requirements.

Entry Requirements:

There are no formal entry requirements, but participants will normally be either practising or aspiring middle managers with the opportunity to meet the assessment demands, and have a background that will enable them to benefit from the programme.

Course Delivery:

The mandatory unit M4.01 ‘Understanding the management role’ (credit value of 4) examines organisational structure and function, the roles and responsibilities of middle managers and the effect of communication and interpersonal skills on managerial performance.
