ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership & Management

Who should attend?

This a professional development programme for supervisors and first line managers. It provides training and development in vital skills that all supervisors need in order to perform well in their role. The programme is suitable for experienced supervisors, or those new to the role, and is appropriate for companies of all types, sizes and sectors.

Why should you attend?

A supervisor today needs to be skilled in many areas. They need to be able to communicate in several different ways and at various levels, depending on whether they are managing the performance of their team, meeting customer requirements, dealing with suppliers or briefing their manager.

And it's not just communications skills they need; supervisors have to be good at planning, organising, monitoring and controlling; being able to motivate one minute and discipline the next; they need to delegate tasks to others, provide guidance, training, coaching and support; they have to deal with change situations, manage conflict and be ever mindful of health and safety.

Supervisors work on their own initiative, they solve problems and make decisions, yet they must remain part of a wider team. Put simply, supervising is a professional role that demands competence in many areas, and this course aims to develop your supervisors to deliver with confidence and professionalism. On successful completion they will also receive a nationally recognised qualification.
