have responsibility for developing their team members. The focus of the
qualification is on using coaching as an improvement tool, helping team
leaders and first line managers to pass on their experience and
expertise to others.
Coaching, used properly, is a highly
effective way of helping individuals to develop their performance to
very high standards. Team leaders and first line managers who have
successfully completed an ILM Level 3 Coaching programme can feel
confident of their ability to coach professionally, and their employing
organisations can benefit from the effective and efficient use of their

required to operate at this level. Leadership developers, consultants
and senior executives who have completed this programme will be better
able to act as mentors and executive coaches for senior managers and
others wishing to become more effective leaders.
