The ILM Level 5 “Effective Coaching and Mentoring” programme is a comprehensive course that spans two 2-day modules, scheduled 6-8 weeks apart. Accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management, it provides ongoing tutorial and supervision support to ensure continuous professional growth. Widely applicable across various sectors, especially healthcare, it empowers organisations to integrate coaching and mentoring practices into their infrastructure.
