This training course is now fully booked. We are running our two-day Essentials course again in November – click here to find out more and book your place.
ILM is offering the ever-popular Essentials 1 training course in virtual form over two days.
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.
For a limited time only, ILM members can book our online essentials training for the discounted price of £320 (normal price £355). The non-member price is currently discounted to £400.
If you had previously booked onto one of our Essentials courses which was cancelled due to COVID-19, and you had paid for your booking, you can now book onto the virtual course below and the difference in price will be refunded.
Virtual Essentials is also available as a five-day course – click here for more details.
