Upcoming Training Courses

Volunteer Cornwall has been successfully delivering Volunteer Management qualifications since 2012. We are an ILM approved centre and are delivering a suite of courses in Leadership & Management based around Managing Volunteers.   Join the 70k other people who enhanced their performance with an ILM qualification last year, and fast-track your way to the top with ILM leadership and management qualifications. In addition to continuing our expertise at Level 3, we are now offering progression qualifications at Level 4. These provide an opportunity to achieve a qualification and to develop a peer support network in the volunteer management arena.
