ILM Level 3 Range of Qualifications

* Diploma qualification is only available to corporate clients / group bookings

Mandatory and Optional Study Units with Notes for Assessment

The assessment processes for this level are predominantly based on your ability to apply your new knowledge to the workplace or work-related scenarios.

• You may be asked to write an essay, report or fictional presentation on the subject thus demonstrating your knowledge in a work-related situation.
• Or, you may be asked to complete a series of questions about a topic and show how these apply to your workplace.
• You may be asked to explain the importance of the subject and how it has affected the business described.
• The format of each assessment will vary, and cannot be pre-empted.

Because of the varying types of assessment per unit of learning, we have developed a tuition day dedicated to assessment techniques, thus allowing you to understand the various assessment formats and try different ideas in a workshop environment, by conducting exercises and working with others in developing your own skills and techniques.

There is a requirement for each of the qualification types to be assessed on mandatory units (scoring a credit value, much like a point scoring system) and study a certain number of optional units to score more credit value thereby achieving a minimum score for each qualification.

Credit Values: ILM Level 3

In the course information chart, above, a column is given that indicates the range of credit values per subject unit. You will see that they vary and this has some bearing on their industry relevance, appropriateness to a Level 3 manager or subject complexity.

One of the necessary choices for learners to make is to decide which subjects they wish to be assessed on and they need to plan to achieve a target ‘score’. These targets will vary depending on which qualification they choose to pursue and the aim of the credit values is to help learners to choose subjects they wish to be assessed on, but also for them to choose appropriate units that will help them to achieve their intended target scores.

Whilst learners will study the specified subjects for their chosen qualification they do not have to choose their assessable units at the time of the induction, but can decide during the training programme which units most suit their needs, expectations, job function or preferences (which may also be based on input from their own HR department, their supervisor or manager), thereafter planning their assessment units to suit their objectives.

Unit accreditation is given to those students who cannot finish the full programme.
