Coaching Qualifications for Middle Managers & Professional Coaches

The ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring in Management aims to provide practising managers 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 understand, develop and demonstrate knowledge and skills in workplace coaching.

The ILM Level 5 Diploma for Professional Management Coaches and Mentors is aimed at participants who will be significantly involved in management coaching/mentoring - within an organisation or 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 management coaching or mentoring in the workplace". In this practical unit participants will develop and improve their performance as management coaches or mentors, taking around 100 hours to plan, organise and evaluate an extended period of coaching or mentoring.

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