When ABE became an independent subsidiary of The Institute of Leadership (IoL) last year, it was to accelerate plans for growth. By combining ABE's specialism in business education and qualifications with the world-class leadership resources developed by IoL, we can offer greater benefits to stakeholders across both organisations.
Now, this vision is becoming a reality, and we are delighted to give you the first update about some of the exciting plans that are coming to fruition.
ABE Level 5 Diploma in Business Management and Leadership
This Diploma is scheduled for release in September. It will offer a dynamic, modern approach to business leadership. We are working closely with sector experts to ensure a contemporary future-facing qualification that will give learners confidence in their ability to lead.
More details will be released soon. Sign up here to be kept informed.
New ABE Level 3 qualifications
We are launching three exciting 40-credit Level 3 Diplomas in the ABE specialism triad of business, leadership and entrepreneurialism. The qualifications can be offered as three individual 40-credit Foundation Diplomas or combined to form a full 120-credit Diploma.
The new ABE Level 3 qualifications will be launched later this year to offer a skills-focused, alternative to traditional A levels. As with the Level 5 qualification, we are working closely with sector experts to ensure a future-facing contemporary approach.
More details will be released soon. Sign up here to be kept informed.
One year's free studying membership for all ABE students
From July 2024, ABE learners will be entitled to one year's free studying membership. This means ABE students have access to a fantastic range of leadership development tools, research and resources, that will support their future career and professional development well beyond their programme of study.
More details and how to opt in for the membership will be emailed to ABE learners in July.
