Improving Leadership and Management Capability
ILM qualifications are practically based, designed to complement the individual’s role at work. Aligned to the UK’s Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), ILM qualifications begin at level 2, such as the ILM Award in Team Leading, and continue up to level 7, such as the ILM Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Executive Management. ILM also offers NVQs; these include the Level 5 NVQ in Management. Other specialist qualifications cover skills in volunteer management, business start-up, coaching, and personnel management. All ILM qualifications have been accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA).
Membership of ILM is open to leaders and managers of all levels. There is trial membership — for individuals taking ILM qualifications. Five grades of membership entitle the member to use post-nominal letters - Affiliate (AInstLM), Associate Member (AMInstLM), Member (MInstLM), Fellow (FInstLM) and Companion (CInstLM). The highest grade is Companionship — for senior executives selected personally by the Institute. Membership is validated by an official membership certificate and membership card.
Members receive a wide range of services to help with their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) including access to e-books, e-courses, events, and specialist management help.
Edge is ILM's in-house magazine, looking at the latest leadership and management issues. Available in hard copy and online, it is distributed to ILM members, organisations offering management training and HR directors.

Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
“People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.””
