How many delegates can attend each on-site course?
We usually provide on-site courses for up to ten people per course - we find that this ensures that the training is effective as it allows for interactivity within the group and between the delegates and trainers.

Is there additional work to do in the evening?
No, there is no additional work to do in the evening.

What is the dress code for the training Course?

There is no strict 'dress code' to adhere to. However, we find that most delegates are dressed in clothes that would be termed 'smart casual' when they attend our courses, so this is the mode of dress we recommend.

ILM Certificate and Study Membership questions

What exactly is the ILM?
The ILM (The Institute of Leadership and Management) is part of the City and Guilds group. It is an independent body, and the leading UK approving organisation for management and leadership training. The ILM have approved our courses. More details can be found on the ILM web site: www.i-l-m.com

What is the 'ILM certificate and study package' that is offered with some of your courses?
Many of our courses (including Train the Trainer) are approved by the ILM. This means that on attending the course you can receive an ILM certificate and study package. The price of this is £45 (+VAT) per delegate.

What exactly does 'approved by the ILM' mean?
The ILM have reviewed our courses in detail. They have approved the entire course, including our trainers, course material and course delivery. The ILM believe that our course meets their high standards and so they are happy to approve it. The ILM also monitor the course - this means that the ILM approval is always up to date.

The study membership provides:

  • Career development services  (email/on-line)

Why do you charge extra for the ILM certificate and study package?
The ILM charge Adelphi Associates for the certificate and study membership package, and unfortunately we have to pass this charge on. We do not, however, add to the ILM charge - in fact we subsidise it by absorbing all postage and administration costs. This is so you / your business pay the minimum amount possible.

Will I have to do extra work to get the ILM certificate?
No, the course is exactly the same whether you choose the ILM option or not.

When will I get the ILM certificate and study membership?
The ILM procedure for registration involves a number of steps. You can expect to receive your certificate within 4 to 6 weeks of the course date. Studying membership usually starts about 2 to 3 weeks after the course. You will receive an e-mail direct from the ILM with full details.

If I don't have the ILM certificate, can I get a certificate from Adelphi Associates?
