Legacy Essentials – two-day online training

ILM Legacy Essentials is run online, is completely interactive and is the perfect introduction or refresher into the world of charity legacies.

With ten modules spread over two days from 9.30am-5pm, our Virtual Essentials is vital training for those new to legacies or anyone who needs to update and refresh their skills. Sessions will be run by experts from the legacy sector, and will feature regular breaks in-between sessions to enable delegates to have a less-pressurised learning experience.

The course will be hosted live via video link. After each session you will be able to submit questions that will be answered at the beginning of the following session. The sessions will be recorded so that if you miss one, you can watch it later, or you can arrange to attend a future session by prior agreement. All attendees also receive a certificate after the training.

You must hold individual ILM membership to benefit from the reduced member rate of £395. To find out more about joining ILM, click here.
