What you’ll learn on an ILM level 6 leadership and management course
ILM level 6 courses in leadership and management focus on the skills and knowledge required of leaders at the higher levels in business. Senior managers and new members of senior leadership teams have unique responsibilities that will all be covered in detail on these courses.
Modules include:
Leading innovation and change within your business
Senior managers set the tone for business operations and steer the direction of your organisation. This course will teach you how you can enact positive change in your business and continually innovate. Importantly, you’ll learn how to work with your team’s brains to ensure everyone is on board with important changes.
Developing critical thinking skills
The ability to think critically, impartially and confidently sets those in strategic management apart from middle managers. You’ll learn how to fully harness the power of your brain to make strategic, informed decisions as a leader with your ILM level 6 qualification.
Making impact at a senior level
You can make an impact in a lot of ways as a senior leader, from asking the right questions to getting your team and senior leaders on board with your ideas and achieving organisational growth. The ILM level 6 in leadership and management will teach you how to be impactful in a way that works with your and others’ brain chemistry.
High-level project management
From scoping to action and evaluation, strong leaders need to be able to deliver successful projects and head up change management. You’ll learn every skill essential to leading projects that contribute to your organisational strategy, from managing challenges to communicating with stakeholders.
Coaching and mentoring
Excellent leaders are skilled in getting the most out of their people and their teams. With an ILM level 6 qualification, you’ll learn how and when to apply coaching and mentoring and lead teams effectively. You’ll understand how to work with your people and their brains, creating a safe environment that allows them to flourish.
How we deliver our ILM level 6 courses
We deliver our ILM level 6 in leadership and management qualifications through a range of mediums to ensure you get the most out of your learning.
We also use our partner Neurocapability’s unique brain-based PEEC method (prime, encode, embed and consolidate), which it created using itss own neuroscience insights to ensure your learning sticks.
The PEEC method
As experts in the human brain, we know how best to deliver learning that resonates, sticks and can be put into practice.
We’ve used our neuroscience expertise to develop a unique learning delivery system that works with your brain. This is the PEEC method: prime, encode, embed and consolidate.
Prime
Our brain needs the right environment to learn effectively; we can guide you on preparing your brain for learning, from your physical environment to your nutrition.
Embed
The brain loves repetition, so you’ll have access to your course materials upon completion, plus you’ll have the chance to share your experience with others, which helps you dig deeper into your learning.
Encode
To focus your attention and ensure your learning is meaningful, we’ll ask reflective questions throughout, allowing you to relate your learning to your experience.
Consolidate
The final step ensures what you learn becomes hard-wired in your brain, which we do through our membership to The Tribe, our community resource where you can share your continued learning with fellow leaders.
Online learning platform
Our dedicated online learning platform contains all of the learning materials you need for success on your course, including:
- Video tutorials and sessions
- Downloadable reading resources to enhance your learning
