About Fircroft College and the ILM

Fircroft College of Adult Education is based in a former Cadbury home set in six acres of gardens and woodland in Selly Oak, Birmingham. It offers a number of short residential courses throughout the year, many of which are aimed at the voluntary and community sectors. Being in residence gives you the opportunity to really focus on your learning without outside distractions. Fircroft is proud to have recently been awarded ‘Beacon Status’ by the Government, in recognition of its status as a UK top-performing College. This follows a Grade 1 ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted inspection report at the end of 2007.

The Institute of Leadership and Management is the UK's largest awarding body for leadership and management qualifications. It is recognised as one of the leading awarding bodies for management qualifications that deliver key skills where they are needed most – directly in the workplace.
