However, we do strongly encourage learners to try and complete the assessments over a 12-month period whilst the learning is still current and so that learners can take full advantage of the support tutorials.
Following the classroom phase, you will also be expected to attend two support tutorials. These tutorials will provide you with valuable advice and support from a tutor as shown below:
- 2.5 hours of a tutor led group supervision supporting your coaching and mentoring practice
- 2.5 hours of tutorial support, advice, and guidance on any aspect of your ILM assignments
Please note that both tutorials are a mandatory requirement of the ILM as part of the learning journey. Tutorials will be held monthly and you will be emailed a selection of dates to attend once as soon as you begin your qualification.
Learners will be asked by the course Event Co-ordinator to complete an online registration form at the start of the course, this will enable In Professional Development to collate the details necessary for ILM registration.
All ILM learners are entitled to a minimum of one-year free student membership of Institute of Management. Student membership provides access to a wealth of digital resources and a network of like-minded leaders and managers. Once you have been registered with the ILM you will receive an email to activate your free membership.
During the classroom-phase, learners are given access to the ILM Learner Pack. The pack contains information about the individual assignments, assignment templates, the Learner Statement of Authenticity that needs to be submitted with each assignment and the ILM Learner Handbook.
