As a student you will create a portfolio of evidence generated from the assessment tasks that you are set. This will demonstrate achievement of all of the learning outcomes associated with each unit of study.

After completion of the Level 2 Team Leading course, you may wish to apply to study on the ILM Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management.

To ensure that your current role and experience supports progression on to the Leadership & Management programme, you will be required to complete a Skills Scan.

Whilst formal English qualifications are not required for direct entry on to this programme, you will need to possess proficient English skills that will enable you to fully participate in all aspects of your learning and successfully achieve your qualification.

Your level of English skills will be assessed during the application process and will be determined by any previously obtained qualifications or via an English assessment, where appropriate.

Whilst not essential at this level, it would be beneficial if you were currently employed in a supervisory role. However, it may be that this is aspirational and you are seeking to gain the skills that will enable you to progress into a supervisory position in the future.
