ILM Level 2 Introductory Certificate in Team Leading
Why consider this programme?
Team leaders are best perceived as being part of a team; first and foremost they are practitioners or operators working alongside other team members. Being leaders of teams augments this role, but does not significantly affect their general responsibility to engage in the same or complementary job tasks as the other team members. Given that teams are likely to contain relatively small numbers of people (probably in the range 6 – 12), the team leader’s span of control is quite small. This programme has been developed to meet these needs
Who is it for?
