Approach & Course Outline

Approach

Participants will benefit from a course and approach designed to be responsive to their needs. We don’t like an ‘off-the-shelf’ approach, instead preferring to carry out a pre-course discovery activity to uncover what the group needs from the course. Then we adapt our course to meet these needs – no two courses are ever exactly the same.

Throughout the course, participants will benefit from a highly interactive approach, designed to be challenging but also to continually adapt and respond to the learners.

Participants will enjoy the benefits of a highly experienced ILM practitioner as their tutor on this course (see below). He provides detailed guidance, advice and feedback, supporting each individual participant towards successful achievement of this qualification.
