By far one of the best resettlement activities I've done, and haven't had to use any GRT leave either. It's a win all round.

John Blowes CMgrStrategic Risk & Governance Leader
★★★★★

Exactly the kind of practical, real-world PM experience that makes it worthwhile. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to build solid project delivery skills.

Although the learning curve is steep, the chance to work through realistic scenarios is a powerful way to build capability.

Before you apply

The questions everyone asks.

How much time does it take each week?

Six to eight hours. Videos are self-paced and the Decision Labs are live in the evening, so it works around a job or around resettlement.

What is the Pass Guarantee?

Complete the programme honestly and if you don't pass first time, we coach you through the resit at no extra cost. Completing means attending the Decision Labs, working through the videos, submitting your deliverables on time and actioning the weekly feedback.

Is ILM Level 5 actually recognised by employers?

Yes. ILM is part of the City & Guilds group and Level 5 sits at foundation degree level. What gets you hired though is the portfolio you leave with, and that's the part we care most about.

What if I'm leaving the Forces and my dates move?

It happens constantly. Talk to us and we'll move you to the next cohort. Come to the webinar and ask, that's exactly what it's for.

All the questions

One hour. Then you'll know.

Thursday 17 September, 7pm UK. The courses, the funding, the qualification, and an honest answer on whether this is the right move for you.
