We want to keep our customers fully informed about some important changes affecting a number of our leadership apprenticeships.

Following recent announcements from the Department for Education, there have been significant changes to apprenticeship funding. As a result, the Level 3 Team Leader, Level 5 Operations Manager, and Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeships are being defunded. This decision sits outside of our control, but it does impact our ability to continue delivering these specific apprenticeship pathways in their current format.

We understand that these apprenticeships play a vital role in developing leaders across organisations, and we recognise the importance of continuity in learning and development. While this change may be unexpected, we want to reassure you that support for our customers remains our priority.

What this means for you

Although we are ceasing delivery of these funded apprenticeships, we are continuing to offer high-quality leadership and management development training courses.  We are also excited to continue developing our Management Academy, expanding our offer to provide even more innovative and impactful leadership development opportunities. Watch this space for more exciting updates coming soon.

These courses are designed to mirror the key knowledge, skills, and behaviours found within the apprenticeships ensuring customers still receive impactful, career-enhancing development.

Our training solutions are:

• Flexible and  can be tailored to an organisation’s needs
• Delivered by experienced industry professionals
• Designed to provide practical, real-world leadership skills
• Available without the constraints of apprenticeship funding rules

Moving forward

Apprentices who have already been enrolled are unaffected by the funding cuts, and delivery will continue as normal.

If you were planning to sign up onto one of the affected apprenticeships, and would like to explore alternative leadership development options, our team is here to help. We would be happy to discuss your requirements and recommend the best solution for your organisation.

We remain committed to supporting the professional growth and development of individuals.

If you have any questions or would like to speak with a member of the team, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
