ILM Team Leading VRQs (Vocationally Related Qualifications) at Level 2

The ILM Level 2 Award in Team Leading and ILM Level 2 Certificate in Team Leading are qualifications specially designed to give practising or aspiring team leaders a solid foundation in their formal development as a leader.

The Award is a concise qualification designed to give learners a basic knowledge of the various roles, functions and responsibilities of a team leader and the limits of their authority and accountability. The mandatory unit in 'Developing yourself as a team leader' is a good starting point for team/cell leaders who are new to their roles or for aspiring leaders who wish to gain a solid understanding of the principles and practicalities of team leading.

The Certificate builds and broadens the skills and knowledge gained in the Award (please note candidates may join the Certificate directly and are not required to undertake the Award as a prerequisite). Here, practical techniques in motivating teams, plus planning and monitoring their work are explored within the additional mandatory units of this larger qualification.
