ILM Level 3 Diploma in First Line Management (QCF)

Qualification summary

The ILM Level 3 Diploma in First Line Management aims to give practising or potential first line managers the widest choice for their formal development in this role. The qualification does this by developing a very wide range of basic management skills and assisting participants in gaining the comprehensive knowledge required by a first line manager.

This qualification builds on the ILM Level 3 Award and Certificate in First Line Management, though candidates are not required to undertake the Award or Certificate as pre-requisites and may join Diploma programmes directly.
