Tamkeen and BIBF are offering a series of Leadership Development Workshops to train 600 existing Bahraini supervisors, managers and business owners in Leadership and Management functions.

Each workshop will be fully accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) UK, and delivered by ILM approved, UK based, international speakers.

In accordance with the target audience, the units will be set at level 5 of the English National Qualifications Framework (professional equivalent of a UK bachelors' degree).

The leadership development workshops are designed for private sector supervisors / managers (employer testimonial required) and private sector business owners. Seats are open on a first-come first serve basis.

The Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) is the UK's largest management body, combining industry-leading qualifications and specialist member services. ILM is founded on the principle that skilled managers and leaders hold the key to creating productive workforces that deliver organisational and economic success. Their qualifications and membership services combine to drive up the standards of leadership and management and improve individual and team performance.

ILM is Europe's largest leadership and management awarding body, approving more leadership and management development programmes than any other organisation. Their qualifications are distinctive, not only for their innovative design but also for their emphasis on linking learning to the workplace and to improving individual, team and organisational performance.

ILM has always offered qualifications that are flexible in structure, ensuring participants can select those areas most appropriate to their needs, while being rigorous in their quality, so that employers can be confident that their leaders and managers are working to the highest standards.

Training and development only has value if it can be used to help leaders and managers improve their performance. ILM does this by linking what is learnt to what happens in the learner's own workplace, and focussing on how this can be used to deliver real gains, for both the learner and their employer. Applying what is being learnt to the workplace is all about exploring what happens there, how people perform, what systems and procedures exist, and why this is. Actual practice is compared and contrasted with theoretical ideas and with best practice elsewhere, to promote understanding and also to evaluate different models and their suitability.

Making improvements is the key focus of the assessment activities used on ILM qualifications. It is not enough to 'know that'; effective leaders and managers need to 'know how' – how to improve their own performance, their team's performance and their organisation's performance. Assessment activities focus on just that, so that training and development represents a real investment in improvement.

Participants are given the flexibility to attend up to 4 workshops in the series. They will be given an award from ILM on completion of each unit.

Awards are concise programmes that develop the core knowledge and skills required. They are particularly suitable for those people preparing for a new role or who have just started in one Unit; this avoids unnecessary repetition and also acts as a motivator, encouraging more successful learning ILM and Learning in the workplace.
