ABE launches Level 5 Leadership qualifications developed with The Institute of Leadership.
We are delighted to announce the launch of a brand-new suite of Level 5 Leadership qualifications, developed in collaboration with The Institute of Leadership and regulated by Ofqual. They are designed to meet the evolving demands of modern workplaces. These qualifications empower professionals to lead with confidence, inclusivity, and purpose.
Available from September 2025, these practical, work-based programmes address the most sought-after leadership skills identified by the World Economic Forum — from emotional intelligence and inclusive team leadership to critical reflection and personal brand development.
Reasons to offer the new ABE Leadership qualifications:
✔️ Ofqual-regulated, employer-relevant content
✔️ Flexible, modular qualifications ideal for working professionals
✔️ Fast six-week assessment turnaround from submission to results
✔️ Printed certificates featuring ABE, The Institute of Leadership, and Ofqual logos
✔️ Learners gain studying membership of The Institute of Leadership, with access to further valuable CPD resources
First assessments open in September 2025, and we’re inviting colleges, training centres, and IoL-approved trainers to sign up to deliver these in-demand leadership qualifications.
