Good afternoon all,
I would like to gain a Management/Leadership certification as I would like to opt for a HR Team Leader or Manager position in a year or so. I am hoping that you can help me decide which certification I should go ahead with.
I have a Business Degree, a Master´s Degree in Human Resources Management and the CIPD level 5.
I have just managed people during 5 months in the HR department of a charity as well as I managed people during a few months at a restaurant.
I am aware of the two main bodies here in the UK “Chartered Management Institute” and “Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM)”.
The ones I am considering are:
ILM: Level 3 Certificate in Principles of Leadership and Management
CMI: Management and Leadership (Level 4)
I am confused about this one as it seems like there are three sub-levels? Award, certificate and diploma?
I have also read that CMI is more suited for private companies and ILM for public ones.
I also have a few more questions:
- What´s the difference between
- Will they give me exemptions to complete other certificates once I have completed the ones I listed above?
- Do I have to complete the CMI and ILM certificates through external providers? If so, which ones would you recommend?
- For CMI, I can only see 3 levels through external providers 3,5 and 7 whereas on CMI website there are more https://www.managers.org.uk/education-and-learning/qualifications/ Why is that?
Thanks
Jose
