FAQ
Do I need to be a senior leader to do this programme?
Not at all. The ILM Level 7 suits ambitious managers ready to step into senior leadership, as well as those already there looking to formalise their practice. It provides the strategic knowledge and skills needed to progress into executive leadership.
Is there a formal qualification?
Yes, participants will receive an ILM Level 7 Senior Leader Diploma on achievement of the qualification. We will send this to you as soon as we receive the certificate.
Can my company run this as an in-house programme?
Yes. We offer bespoke in-house delivery for organisations wanting to run the programme with their own cohort of managers. We’ll tailor content to your sector, culture, and strategic priorities.
What is the time commitment per week?
You can expect to spend approximately 4 hours per week including live sessions, self-directed learning, and reflective practice tasks, but this will vary. Sessions are designed to be flexible around working schedules.
Can I study while I'm working full time?
Absolutely, that’s exactly how it’s designed to work. Because the assessments are based on your actual job, your workplace becomes part of your learning journey. You won’t need to take time off or study into the early hours. Many of our programmes are delivered through blended learning, combining workshops, online resources, and one-to-one support, so you can fit your studies around your schedule.
What are the payment options?
You can pay by BACS transfer, one full Stripe payment (10% off), or choose monthly instalments via GoCardless.
Can I use the apprenticeship levy for this course?
Unfortunately not – but we offer apprenticeship programmes that are levy-funded. See apprenticeship courses.
When can I start the course?
You can start at any time — our cohorts start every 4–8 weeks.
