Graduate level ILM Level 5 Award, Certificate and Diploma programmes in Leadership and Management are designed for operational and middle managers in all sectors.
The programme will improve skills, knowledge and behaviours as well as deliver quantifiable improvements through work-based improvement projects.
How is the apprenticeship programme delivered?
The programme can be delivered face to face or via live, tutor led Virtual Workshops using a mixture of pre-programme study, highly interactive sessions, and post-programme assessments to embed knowledge, skills, and professional behaviours. We can also deliver face to face for single organisations at a location of their choosing. We also offer a self-study distance learning version of all qualifications via our Night School programme.
Who is it for?
The Level 5 Leadership and Management apprenticeship is intended for existing and aspiring middle managers with operational/departmental responsibilities. It is designed to develop practical leadership skills and knowledge.
Management apprenticeships are fully funded through a levy scheme operated by HMRC which deducts .5% of annual payroll above 3 million pounds. Employers can access this fund when they employ an approved Apprenticeship provider such as ourselves to deliver the programme.
Cherith Simmons can directly access the funding to pay for the apprentices’ training. Other schemes provide full funding for smaller organisations, which Cherith Simmons can access on your behalf.
Funding is currently worth £7000.00 per apprentice making the training effectively free for levy paying employers.
Non levy paying employers can access 95% of the funding. However, levy payers can wire surplus levy funding to non-levy paying employers if they wish in order to make full use of their apprenticeship fund.
There are no age or length of service restrictions so apprenticeships can be used to upskill existing managers.
