ILM in Scotland

At ILM, our purpose is to enable people and organisations to develop their leadership skills for personal and economic growth. We do this by helping employers and training providers to train, assess and accredit leaders with the right blend of skills.

We’ve been operating in Scotland for over two decades, working with employers, colleges, training providers and government agencies, across key sectors delivering globally recognised leadership, management, coaching and mentoring qualifications, as well as recognition services and learning resources.

Our products and services are valued by employers across the UK and around the world, helping individuals to develop their leadership and management skills for job readiness and career progression wherever they wish to go.

ILM is a City & Guilds business and all ILM qualifications are awarded by The City and Guilds of London Institute (CGLI). From August 31 2022, City & Guilds will no longer be a Credit Rating Body in Scotland.

Find out what this means

From 31 August 2022, existing ILM SCQF credit rated qualifications, where City & Guilds is the Credit Rating Body, will be closed for registration. City & Guilds and the SCQF Partnership will work together to ensure that all learners, both new and existing, registered on these programmes prior to that date will be able to be certificated with the appropriate SCQF level - and receive credit points when they successfully complete within the period up to the end certification date.

Continuing our commitment to leadership & management development in Scotland

We remain committed to providing colleges, providers and employers with robust leadership & management qualifications and development programmes. We offer a wide range of internationally recognised leadership & management and coaching and mentoring qualifications. In addition, we offer recognition services to organisations that wish to have their training programmes endorsed by us. Please contact us to find out more.

Learners can still be registered onto our range of credit rated qualifications until 31st August 2022. Our current portfolio of SCQF qualifications, listed below.
