The Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship is designed for experienced managers, directors, and executives responsible for shaping strategy, driving organisational change, and leading business transformation. It’s ideal for:
Duration: 13 months (not including End Point Assessment)
Apprenticeship Standard: Senior leader / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education
Location: Delivered through either face-to-face workshops or virtual learning supported by our client-branded Learning Management System (LMS).
Management apprenticeships are funded through a levy scheme operated by HMRC which deducts 0.5% of annual payroll above £3 million. Employers can access this fund when they employ an approved Apprenticeship provider such as Cherith Simmons to deliver the programme.
Cherith Simmons can directly access the funding to pay for the apprentices’ training. Other schemes provide 95% funding for smaller organisations, which Cherith Simmons can access on your behalf.
Funding is currently worth £14,000.00 per apprentice making the training effectively free except for the accreditation fee.
Apprentices in this programme will learn to:
Optionally – top up to an MBA delivered through the London Examinations Board and the University of Gloucester over 6 months for £3,500 – which can be made in staged payments
The Masters dissertation will be based on the work-focused project already completed for the Apprenticeship
