Choose your grade.
Military Rank Equivalencies.
The Institute of Leadership recognises military ranks and has mapped them to membership grades, according to levels of achievement, experience and qualifications.
We have also mapped military training courses to City & Guilds / ILM qualifications. This means that, if you don’t have formal management-related qualifications, you can still join The Institute, at a membership grade that recognises your achievements and/or military training.
We are currently reviewing military ranks and how they map to membership grades. So, if you have any questions, please contact the team on +44(0) 1543 266886 or membership@leadership.global
