ILM Assignments and How to Complete Them

28th Jun 2017 by Louise Hockaday in ILM

An ILM Level 5 Certificate (or Diploma) in Coaching and Mentoring is a really useful qualification and is especially relevant if you use a coaching approach in your workplace or in work as a self-employed coach - or indeed, if you wish to do so. We offer a ‘clean’ version of this qualification, which we developed by working through all the criteria and determining out how each coaching principle and process could be delivered as cleanly as possible.

If you are already using Clean Language in your coaching, the qualification will broaden your skill base as well as giving you an officially recognised qualification. And if you are new to Clean Language, the course will provide you with some fantastic skills for getting started or continuing with your coaching career.

The taught part of the course consists of 6 training days delivered over three weekends. You are also required to undertake peer group coaching and client coaching and to complete the three assignments we discuss below.

This information will be helpful to you if:

• You are considering joining our next ILM course, which starts in September.
• You’ve already taken the course and are looking for help with the assignments.
• You are already coaching and are looking for some handy resources to support you.

Assignment 1: Understanding the skills, principles and practice of effective management coaching & mentoring

This assignment is all about examining the world of coaching, understanding what coaching is, how it works, the skills you need and how you can practise it effectively. It looks at the individual and organisational benefits of coaching. It is about demonstrating what you know about the theory of coaching and mentoring and it requires you to do background reading / research.

The most useful book for this assignment is Jackie Arnold’s book, Coaching Skills for Leaders in the Workplace. Jackie is an experienced coach, supervisor and Clean Language Facilitator who worked closely with the ILM to produce this book, which is like a ‘book of answers’ to the questions! Obviously, you can’t just copy it out – plagiarism is a no-no. But if you read it through and then use what you learn to answer the questions in your own words, that will get your assignment off to a great start. Then build on this basis by reading widely around the subject; you will need to quote from several sources to pass.

We also recommend you read Marian’s book, Clean Approaches for Coaches for a good grounding in how to use Clean Language as a coaching methodology.

The ICF and EMCC websites have useful information about coaching and mentoring, and each also has a code of ethics, which will help with Assignment 1: Understanding the skills, principles and practice of effective management coaching & mentoring.

Other books about coaching you may find useful include:

• Coaching for Performance by Sir John Whitmore
• Coaching by James Flaherty
• Co-Active Coaching by Laura Whitworth and Henry Kimsey House
• Performance Coaching by Angus McCleod

And other books about clean:

• The Power of Six by Philip Harland
• The Five-Minute Coach by Lynn Cooper and Mariette Cast
• Trust Me, I’m the Patient by Philip Harland

Assignment 2 - Reviewing own ability as a management coach or mentor

This assignment requires you to explore and reflect on your ability as a coach or mentor. This means demonstrating your awareness of how well you are performing and what you need to do in the future.

For this assignment, you need to show evidence of your ability, which can include feedback from your coachees or from your peer-coaching group. You will also need to undertake an evidenced-based assessment of your own skills, behaviours and knowledge against those needed by a coach or mentor.

You can make this assignment really easy for yourself by ensuring you keep good records of all of your peer coaching and client coaching sessions. And pay particular attention when course tutors or peers give you developmental feedback. Showing you can take feedback on board and work on improving in that area is a key part of the evidence that you are growing as a coach.

Assignment 3 - Undertaking management coaching or mentoring in the workplace

As suggested by the title, this assignment is putting what you learn about coaching into practice and demonstrating your skills with 12 hours of formal coaching, with a minimum of 3 coachees (100 hours are required for the diploma). Ideally, this will be within a company or organisation, although as long as at least half your coachees work in a supervisory or management role that will be sufficient.

You will need to develop a coaching agreement with the company and/or individuals concerned and then make sure you keep a good record of what happens so that you have plenty of material to refer to when you come to write up your assignment.

Completing the assignments

Of course, knowing what you need to do to complete the assignments is one thing, but sometimes getting on and doing them is something else entirely. If you have a tendency to procrastinate, here are some tips from past successful completers that may help:

• Get in touch with fellow participants and create a buddy group who work together to complete the assignments. E.g.: Let’s work together on Skype for 45 minutes every Monday.
• Arrange a physical writing group: invite people to your place or to a café or library and spend a whole day together writing your assignments.
• If prefer speaking to writing, find someone who is willing to ask you the questions and write down your answers as you speak them out loud. Or use a recording device and get your spoken words transcribed.
• Find a coach of your own and ask for some regular Clean Coaching designed to enable you to complete your assignment: use the process to complete the process.

ILM Level 5 Qualifications in Leadership and Management

• 2 Day Course
• In-House Option Available

This qualification best prepares leaders and managers to overcome the challenges presented by the modern workplace.

With a focus on teams, collaboration, change and the new world we work in, the ILM Level 5 Award and Certificate in Leadership and Management are designed for practising middle and senior managers, helping them to develop their skills and experience, improve performance of themselves and the organisation, be able to understand and affect a positive cultural organisation, and be able to innovate and implement change.

The programme also enables leaders to better manage and adapt to the rapid pace of change in the workplace – primarily brought about by the rise of technology. And it empowers them to inspire their teams and guide them through the challenge.

We believe it has never been more important for leaders to develop their skills in this area to minimise disruption and make the most of the opportunities.

Change is inevitable, but it can also be difficult. Many find change uncertain and unsettling, and that brings challenges for leaders and those driving change.

Our new course has been designed to help prepare you for both the challenges and opportunities that change brings. The training focuses on relationship building, decision making, leadership style and empowering others.

Course syllabus

Each unit in this qualification focuses on a specific set of skills and knowledge:

Module 1: 8607-522 Becoming an Effective Leader

• Evaluate options for generating the proposed improvement to determine feasibility and viability.
• Understand how to create a change management plan that is designed to meet stakeholders’ expectations.
• Be able to implement the change management plan, monitoring progress against agreed targets.

Module 3: 8607-418 Understanding the Organisational Culture and Context

• Evaluate the organisation within its broader environment using appropriate environmental and organisational analysis techniques.
• Examine the implications of the policies, procedures and legal requirements that are relevant to your area of work.
• Evaluate the cultural and ethical behaviour present in the organisation.
• Evaluate own cultural and ethical behaviour in relation to the organisation.
• Propose how to uphold the ethical standards across the organisation.

Pre-Course Work

What is an ILM assignment? 

The Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) offers a range of qualifications designed to enhance Leadership and Management skills. ILM assignments form an integral part of these qualifications, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios and demonstrate their understanding of key concepts.  

ILM 8601-203 task 1: Team dynamics 

Task 1 of ILM 8601-203 training is focused on team dynamics within the work organisation. The course entails an in-depth study of the aspects that impact team performance, which include communication styles, Leadership dynamics, and conflict resolution techniques. A study of case stories and guiding principles gives learners a deeper understanding of the factors that make a team perform well. Let's explain its task components:  

1) Describe how teams differ from groups at work. 

The teams and groups in the workplace have major variations in certain critical parameters. The distinguishing characteristic of a team is that everyone has a shared purpose and goals, they are interdependent, and they are mutually accountable for the results. Teams engage in close collaboration to achieve specific goals, while a group functions more autonomously without unified objectives. 

2) Describe the characteristics of a successful team.
