The Certificate consists of three ‘themes’. The Diploma consists of four ‘themes’. All are designed around the learning outcomes of the ILM units.
THEME 1
Skills, principles and practice
Certificate & Diploma
This theme provides students with an understanding of the role of a coach or mentor within an organisation. It will challenge learners to plan for how they will ensure best practice in their own role as a coach or mentor and get them started on the process of working with their own client(s).
THEME 2
Undertaking effective coaching and mentoring
Certificate & Diploma
This theme provides students with practical experience of the skills of a coach or mentor within
an organisation. It will challenge learners to translate their knowledge and understanding into best practice in their own role as a coach and mentor. Students will also undertake at least 18 hours of coaching and mentoring with their own client(s).
THEME 3
Reviewing your practice as a coach and mentor
Certificate & Diploma
This theme enables students to reflect on their capabilities and the impact that their work has on their clients and the organisation. It will challenge learners to reflect critically on their own practice as a coach or mentor, using the feedback they have gained through the 18 hours of coaching or mentoring with their own client(s). Students will also form their ongoing personal development plan.
THEME 4
Professional practice
Diploma only
This theme enables students to extend their professional practice as a coach or mentor working with management level clients. It will challenge learners to use critical reflection to develop and improve in their role.
LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Each unit involves a number of learning activities which may include:
- on-line learning
- monthly coaching/supervision sessions with a highly experienced executive coach/supervisor
- completion of a series of Reflective Reviews designed to help you reflect on your progress
- a series of practical activities which guide students through the coaching process from contracting to evaluation
- regular feedback from your coach / supervisor and the assessment team
Delegates will gain a critical understanding of the role and responsibilities of the workplace coach and mentor, deepening their understanding of how coaching and mentoring can impact on an organisation. They will develop the ability to assess their own skills, behaviours and knowledge as a coach and mentor, and be able to provide evidence of their development through the qualification. They will gain valuable experience of planning, delivering and reviewing coaching in their organisation, and also their own further development as a coach and mentor.
Managers and leaders; anyone looking to take on a coaching or mentoring role within their organisation.
The impacts of these courses are many and varied. For organisations there is reassurance of knowing that the managers being developed as coaches or mentors are properly equipped with the skills, knowledge and ethical understanding they need. This assists the development of a coaching culture in the organisation, with managers able to provide effective support for the development of others and improve their performance.
The ILM Level 5 qualifications are highly respected qualifications in their own right. They can provide students with up to 38 credits at Level 5. The qualifications also provide progression opportunities to other qualifications such as the ILM Level 5 Award, Certificate or Diploma in Leadership and Management and the ILM Level 7 Certificate or Diploma for Executive and Senior Coaches and Mentors.
Successful completion of these qualifications also provides eligibility for membership of the Institute of Leadership & Management and the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC).
We deliver these qualifications in partnership with the Academy of Leadership and Management.

ILM has the UK’s widest range of leadership and management qualifications and accredited training.
Over 750,000 managers have benefited from an ILM qualification or accredited training programme in the past ten years, while 35,000 managers are now members of ILM.
ILM’s qualifications are a proven route to developing management skills, and growing your knowledge and capability. But equally importantly, ILM qualifications can transform your career. It helps that ILM is the UK’s most recognised and respected awarding body for leadership and management qualifications.
More managers take qualifications from ILM than anywhere else. ILM don’t believe in training for training’s sake, or qualifications that just tick boxes. If you’re serious about developing your career, an ILM qualification will take you to the next level. It proves to you and your employer that you have the knowledge, skills and ability to take on new responsibility. If you have just been promoted, or are preparing for a new role – especially if it involves taking on work that is new to you – an ILM qualification will give you and your employer the confidence to know you can do the job effectively.
After an ILM qualification:
- 93% of managers perform better in their jobs
- 90% of managers improve their ability to communicate and give feedback
- 90% of managers are better at motivating people
