A growing number of organisations run bespoke in-house leadership and management development training for their staff – specially designed programmes that support specific organisational needs and internal systems and practices. ILM’s Endorsed programmes add value to in-house management training by providing industry wide recognition from Europe’s management and leadership body, without altering the programme content or delivery.
To qualify as an ILM Endorsed programme, your organisation's in-house leadership and management training scheme must meet the following minimum requirements:
- Must not be less than ten hours duration
- Must be based on management, leadership, coaching, mentoring or enterprise
- Must aim to enhance or develop the knowledge and skills of managers, leaders, coaches, mentors or entrepreneurs
- Must contain an element of assessment (if the programme does not contain assessment it may be recognised as a Development Programme
Become an ILM Recognised Provider
The route to becoming an 'ILM Recognised Provider' - our name for organisations running ILM Endorsed programmes - has been designed to be as straightforward and succinct as possible. Ongoing support and guidance is provided by the local ILM business manager, external verifier and and named contact in the ILM Customer Service Team.
After being allocated a local ILM business manager to oversee their registration, organisations must complete two forms (submitted via e-mail) – a credit application form and a recognition application form providing details of the organisation and its in-house development scheme. This form is used to ensure the existing programmes meet the minimum ILM Endorsed programme criteria (above).
Once ILM has approved and verified the information the organisation will be confirmed as ‘Recognised ILM Provider’ for a period of four years. During this time further programmes can be endorsed through a simple application form.
