Programme Content
The ILM Level 5 qualifications in Effective Coaching & Mentoring are highly respected qualifications that give practising and aspiring managers and consultants the opportunity to develop in their role as a coach or mentor. The courses will help students gain a detailed understanding of the coaching role, the knowledge and skills required to implement a programme of coaching or mentoring for individual clients and the opportunity to put this into practice whilst receiving coaching and supervision. They are delivered through a blend of learning tailored to the needs of each student. They are demanding programmes but the rewards can be very high.
The programmes are centred on the delivery of coaching or mentoring in the workplace. Students build a business case for a coaching or mentoring programme that will have a real impact for their organisation or client. Students use reflective practice in supervision sessions to review and develop their performance. The programmes offer coaching and supervision sessions, a library of resources, individually defined CPD, online learning, reflective practice and practically focused assignments. Students develop their own executive coaching or mentoring performance supported by their coach supervisor, focusing on achieving high levels of impact for their organisation or clients.
ILM Level 5 qualifications in Effective Coaching and Mentoring are highly respected professional development awards in their own right. Achievement at this level offers a progression route to the ILM Level 7 qualifications for Executive and Senior Coaches and Mentors.
