Executive Managers and Professional Executive Coaches

The ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Leadership Mentoring aims to provide practising senior leaders and managers (or those working in a training and development role) with the knowledge, skills and confidence to perform effectively as coaches or mentors as part of their normal work role. The Certificate is made up of three mandatory units which enable participants to develop their understanding of this level of coaching and to develop the skills necessary to assist their clients.

The ILM Level 7 Diploma for Professional Executive Coaches and Leadership Mentors is aimed at participants who will be significantly involved in executive coaching/leadership mentoring - within an organisation or more likely as a freelancer. Participants complete the same three mandatory units as in the Certificate but also complete an additional unit, "Undertaking an extended period of supervised executive coaching or mentoring". In this practical unit participants will develop and improve their performance as executive coaches or leadership mentors and as reflective practitioners. They will take around 125 hours to plan, organise and evaluate an extended period of coaching or mentoring.

(Please note participants are not required to undertake the Certificate in Executive Coaching and Leadership Mentoring as a prerequisite and may join the Diploma for Professional Executive Coaches and Leadership Mentors directly.)
