Summary

This Senior Leader Apprenticeship programme provides you with the knowledge, skills and capabilities required to scale up a business.

  • Enhance your business or contribute to organisational growth by learning researched scale up approaches

  • A suitable developmental opportunity for staff members who perhaps are looking for that ‘next step’ in their personal and/or professional development.

  • The programme is viewed by some organisations as part of investing in / retaining talent as part of their succession strategy in scaling-up the business.

  • Many organisations are unaware there is the apprentice option by drawing down on the apprenticeship levy –also an option to non-levy payers).

  • All module activities and assessment are directly related to work-based context, so the organisation and employee benefit from academic research and learning.

What is scale up?

A 'scale-up' is an enterprise that has experienced significant growth rates in employees and turnover over a number of years. Nationally, scale-up businesses have been identified as a priority area, recognised by the appointment of a scale up champion in Government who aims to increase the number of businesses maximising opportunities to reach their growth potential. This will feed into the Government's industrial strategy.

This Senior Leaders Apprenticeship (SLA) is designed to transform participants into confident business professionals capable of scaling up a business. It focuses on the key areas a business would need to investigate in order to assess scale up potential. The course combines key management disciplines from the key QAA and CMI benchmark statements with recent national research on the drivers of business scale up.

What is the apprenticeship levy?

The government has introduced a levy on larger employers to fund apprenticeships. If your company’s wage bill is over £3 million your company will pay the apprenticeship levy of 0.5%.

If your company is paying the apprenticeship levy (see details below), you can use these funds to cover Degree Apprenticeships.

Both levy and non-levy paying employers can benefit from additional payments to support their apprentices in the workplace.
