Continuing Professional Development Strategic Leaders Programme (ILM level 7)

Content

The programme consists of an introduction to ILM as an organisation and to the ILM level 7 Leadership and Management qualification and academic study, followed by a series of one day or half day workshops held on approximately every three weeks, on the following principles:

• Enquiry-based approach, shift from 'knowing' to knowing how to find out'
• The learner adopts an evidence based approach, knows about data
• 'Robust, evidence based investigation' which can be defined as 'rigorous and action centred enquiry'
• 'The Level 7 thinking' must be put into practice
• The context, the current work situation, of the learning determines the nature of the learning, what is and how it is found out, how it is applied, and how both the finding out and the impact are evidenced

For further details about each of the sessions and the assignments please see our programme brochure.

On successful completion of your assignment, you will be awarded the ILM Level 7 Certificate in Leadership and Management and our 30 credits postgraduate module Evidencing Work-Based Learning in Leadership and Change module.
