ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership and Management
An accredited qualification for current and prospective managers.
This programme gives Team Leaders & Managers the skills, disciplines and confidence to manage their team effectively and add a great deal more value to the organisation - where they have to apply their learning in order to achieve the highly coveted ILM qualification.
One of the main responsibilities of a manager is to make sure that employees are satisfied with their job and reaching their full potential. A manager who can energise his or her employees will have a team which has a much greater potential and capability of achieving company goals and objectives.
It is therefore vital that a manager has the essential skills to fully support and lead their team to success.
This 3-day programme brings together the key leadership skills that you will need to be an effective manager so that you can return to the workplace and deliver tangible results.
All of our ILM Programmes are provided in partnership with The BCF Group, which is the ILM Approved Centre we deliver under.
In-House & Classroom Courses Available Online

We have developed an alternative to traditional face-to-face training that continues to provide a full learning experience, and allows delegates to learn effectively whilst self-isolating from home.
This is how it looks:
Delegates booked on Classroom and In-House courses will continue to have access to their trainer online throughout the days that the course is booked to run.
Prior to a delegate's course start date, they will be enrolled on our e-learning platform (in partnership with BCF Group) for the course they are booked on to. They will also be given contact information for their trainer, and details of how to access the online workshops.

Delegates will not require any special IT equipment. A desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or a mobile phone with internet and audio capability is all that is required.
Delegates taking ILM Qualifications will then proceed to the book review, video review and work based assignments with 12 months tutor support as appropriate, and in line with our previous arrangements. We hope you agree that this blended learning experience represents the safest way to continue supporting our clients and delegates during the Coronavirus disruption.
If you have any questions about a course that is currently booked, please contact phil@dicksontraining.com.
For new bookings please continue to book online as normal or telephone us on 01937 579649.
In-House Courses

As well as being one of the most popular open courses, we can also arrange this course as an in-house programme for companies and organisations who wish to develop a number of their managers at the same time, and would find an in-house course at their own premises much more suitable.
For more information about running this course in-house at your premises, please call us on 01937 579 649 or submit a brief description of your training requirements through an online contact form and we will get back to you.

The most popular of our management training courses, the First Line Management course is specifically for people who are new to a management position or who are about to undertake a management position and have had no formal management training. Anyone who is new to a management or supervisory position will benefit from this course.
This is our own management training course which has been developed and refined over the many years we have been providing it to delegates from organisations in virtually every industry.
We have specifically designed new models for this course that will help make what some believe is a complex undertaking (performance management; organisational strategy and operational alignment) into a simple, clear and concise set of steps. Once shown "the big picture", we help you break it down from a managers perspective. The course content can also be made bespoke and tailored to your organisation's specific requirements and industry.
