BMF Management Qualifications (NVQ Level 3) 

The BMF offers Management Qualifications at NVQ Level 3 through the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).

These qualifications are designed for supervisors and managers who wish to progress through the Builders Merchants sector, either into a managerial position or as career enhancement to their current role. 

The Level 3 NVQ in Management is for line managers who have decision-making responsibilities within defined limits and wider responsibility for people and their performance and also assesses their knowledge and understanding of key management activities. It also gives managers an opportunity to develop their performance in their job to become more effective and to progress their career.

What are NVQ's?
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ's), show that people are competent at their jobs. They are based on nationally recognised occupational standards, which clearly describe what is expected within various occupations. In the case of NVQ's in management, this means describing the outcomes of competent performance in the role, and the behaviours and underpinning knowledge and understanding that are necessary for those outcomes to be produced.

What are the benefits?

• You can build on your strengths and focus training and development on the areas in which you need to improve.
• You can prepare for your qualification to fit in with your work.
• You receive an ILM certificate recognising your competence as a manager.

Organisations benefit because:

• Staff receive occupational training.
• Their training costs are reduced, as training becomes clearly focused on what managers need to perform effectively and develop their careers.
• Management training and qualifications clearly link to other activities, such as performance appraisal, coaching, recruitment and reward schemes.
• Communication improves as managers begin to use a common language and an empowering culture develops.

Current registration costs are available on request.
