History
editThe institute was formed in November 2001 through the merger of the Institute of Supervision and Management (ISM) and the National Examining Board for Supervision and Management (NEBS).
The Institute of Supervision and Management (ISM) was founded in 1947 by J.K. Evans.[3]
The National Examinations Board in Supervisory Studies (NEBSS), subsequently the National Examining Board for Supervision and Management (NEBS), was established in June 1964, on the initiative of the Department of Education and Science, as an independent autonomous body administered by the City and Guilds of London Institute.[4]
Following the merger, the Institute of Leadership & Management continued to be part of the City & Guilds Group until 2016, when the Institute of Leadership split off to become a separate organisation, with the accreditation body continuing as part of the City & Guilds Group, taking the name of ILM.[5]
On 3 April 2023, ABE Global became an independent subsidiary of The Institute of Leadership group.[6]
