ILM Level 4 Courses

Managing Equality and Diversity in an Organisation

Diversity issues at work are never far from the headlines. Our ILM Level 4 courses − Managing Equality and Diversity in an Organisation − draw on 27 years of experience in the field. This includes running open management training courses and in-house development programmes across the public, private and charitable sectors. We are an Institute of Leadership and Management Approved Centre.

With the enforced change to our working environments due to the Covid-19 virus, join us for our next fully digital and online ILM 4 course in August. The course will run over a three-week period.

You can become accredited in diversity and inclusion whilst you work remotely at this time. You will still have 1:1 support from the EW Group Course Leader through pre- and post-course coaching calls, as well as the addition of access to our award-winning e-learning as a pre-course resource and delivery of the content via three webinar sessions. The pre-course coaching will kick off the course, with weekly sessions.

You’ll leave the course with a deep understanding of how to manage D&I in your organisation and have access to ongoing support and idea-sharing through our new online community platform with the other delegates and the EWG team.
