The Awarding Bodies - Institute of Leadership and Management

Awarding Bodies are organisations that are authorised to make postgraduate awards, certification, or award qualifications.

Listing Awarding Bodies

Postgrad.ie lists all of the awarding bodies in Ireland, the UK and abroad. Most major postgraduate awards are made by bodies with statutory powers, but there are also many professional organisations that make their own awards in relation to postgraduate study. While courses and educational programmes in Ireland lead to qualifications from Irish awarding bodies, it sometimes be the case that courses lead to non-Irish awards, for example awards from international bodies, or national awards from other countries.

Certain Irish institutions are both providers of courses and programmes and also awarding bodies for postgraduate certification in their own right: these are the Irish universities and the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).

An award is an academic qualification (degree, diploma or certificate) conferred in recognition of the successful completion of a higher education programme of study, either at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and issued by a designated awarding body. The National Framework of Qualifications sets out the criteria for major and non-major awards. Non-major awards include, minor awards, special purpose awards
and supplemental awards.

Major awards are the principal class of awards made at a given NFQ level and reflect a significant volume of learning, e.g. Honours Bachelor Degree (NFQ, Level 8), Master Degree (NFQ, Level 9), Doctorate Degree (NFQ Level 10).

In Ireland, following the changes in the qualifications system as a result recent legislation, the number of statutory bodies has been reduced as the new awards councils FETAC and HETAC have assumed the the awarding functions previously fulfilled by several other Irish organisations such as the National Council for Educational Awards (NCEA), National Council for Vocational Awards (NCVA), Solas, Teagasc, the National Tourism Certification Board (CERT) and Bord Iascaigh Mhara.

The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) is an awarding body for leadership and management qualifications in the UK. They are also a professional membership body for leaders and managers.

The ILM plays a part in approving many leadership courses and accrediting centres. They are widely recognised by employers and education throughout the UK.

Qualifications and accreditations

The Institute's qualifications are in line with the UK’s Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) has accredited all their qualifications.

ILM offers a broad portfolio of leadership, management, coaching and mentoring qualifications. In addition, they offer specialist vocational qualifications such as managing volunteers or working with social entrepreneurs.

The Institute uses a unit learning system. As a participant progresses up the levels of learning, the units become more complex and take longer to complete. They offer qualifications at Award, Certificate or Diploma level.
