As part of your studies, you have been provided with access to a library of resources and materials relating to each Unit of the qualification. This includes a comprehensive list of all the learning resources that you will have been signposted to during the eLearning for each Unit. We understand that you may wish to return to articles, web-links etc. so this should help you locate them more easily than searching on individual content pages.

These resources are provided in addition to the many resources you will be able to access through the ILM and CMI websites. You should explore these materials as part of your research in support of your learning enquiries.
