Management Training

In addition to the management and business knowledge workshops, Early Years & Childcare are supporting management qualifications at levels 2, 3, 4 & 5, which are accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management. There are also NVQ options in management.

There have been significant changes in these ILM qualifications since September 2007. The re-structuring of qualifications has led to re-naming and adding at each level.

The old "Introduction" is now the "Award".
The Certificate remains the same.
A new "Diploma" has been added (in some cases) to give 3 qualifications at each level of Vocationally Related Qualifications (VRQ).
NVQ remains the same.

Early Years can now offer (subject to demand):

ILM Level 2 Team Leading Award
ILM Level 2 Team Leading Certificate
ILM Level 3 First Line Management Award,
ILM Level 3 First Line Management Certificate
ILM Level 3 First Line Management Diploma
ILM Level 4 Management Award
ILM Level 5 Management Award
