Get the most out of your FM team with a team leading qualification

ILM Level 2 Award in Leadership and Team Skills

Suspended in 'no-man's-land' between top down and bottom up pressures, it is difficult to successfully migrate into the role of team leader without professional training support.

If you're looking to make the transition from working in a team to leading a team, this qualification from the Institute of Leadership and Management will give you a solid foundation in your development as leader, and provide you with the tools and insight needed to nurture and be part of a successful team.

Following BIFM Training's 3-day Team Leading course, The ILM Level 2 Award in Leadership and Team skills can be attained upon successful completion of reflective reviews and one work-based assignment.

Includes a year's free studying membership with the Institute of Leadership and Management

Team Leading next runs 4-6 June 2013 in Central London - for further information or to register please click here or email info@bifm-training.co.uk for more information
