Apprenticeship in Leadership and Management (Advanced)

Summary: This programme will equip first time managers to build their skills and increase their levels of responsibility within the workplace.








Course description: All training on this course is delivered either in the workplace or at college, on a day release basis.
The Management Advanced Apprenticeship has been developed to support those working as first line managers, section managers, assistant managers, trainee managers, senior supervisors, junior non-commissioned officers (armed forces) and those working in a range of other management positions.
Tasks undertaken by apprentices will vary depending on the level and sector in which they are employed. Tasks may include planning, allocating and monitoring the work of the team, giving feedback, briefing teams, supporting team members, managing conflict, resolving problems, procuring supplies, project management, agreeing budgets and managing and improving customer service.
Additional measurable benefits include better team performance, productivity targets met or exceeded, quicker response time and reduced error rates.









Entry requirements: Applicants to the Advanced Apprenticeship programme should ideally have five GCSEs (grade C or above) or have completed a level 2 programme or have a reasonable level of professional experience. Apprentices who took their GCSEs more than five years ago and did not gain a C grade or above may need to take a literacy and numeracy test. Applicants will also be asked to attend a pre-enrolment interview.
Apprenticeships are open to anyone over the age of 16, whether they have just left school or have been working for years. As an apprenticeship is a work based qualification, applicants should either have an employer who has agreed to support them, or be seeking an apprenticeship position through our vacancies list. Once you have secured a position with an employer your training can begin.
