Developing Leaders ILM Course attendee Heather also commented:
"I have been a manager for several years in various organisations without any formal management qualifications.
The ILM Level 3 Leadership & Management course is designed to help me progress in my own practice but also reaffirm what I have already been doing. The course leader is extremely experienced and uses her industry knowledge to guide the lessons. After just two taught sessions I feel more confident in my role; it has helped me to make more objective and considered decisions which has already had a positive impact on staff development."
