BUSINESS REPORT TRAINING GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND

accredited ILM (Institute of Leadership and Management) centre for several years and this summer its status was successfully upgraded which means it can now offer two new qualifications – ILM Level 3 Diploma for Managers and ILM Level 5 Diploma for Leaders and Managers. Beyond Theory


senior consultant Paul Beesley said: “We’ve been accredited and quality controlled by the ILM for five years and in response to demands from our clients we’ve upgraded to offer these additional qualifications. “We’ll still be offering our ILM

Tracey Mann and Carole Kane, (pictured) of Whittlebury Park Golf and Country Club, finished strongly on the Bracken course at Woodhall Spa Golf Club to win an Australian Spoons title that has been long in the making. The pair, who are both ex-Lady Captains, have known each other for

has now come to fruition. I wanted to be able to offer a full range of options and now we can deliver that.” The first Level 3 and Level 5 diplomas will begin by January.
