It is particularly suited to practising team leaders seeking to move up to the next level of management, and managers who need to lead people through organisational change, budget cuts or other pressures.

As part of their apprenticeship, learners will study the ILM Level 3 Diploma in Leadership and Management.
We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this Apprenticeship through our Online and On Campus model. Apprentices will attend college (or virtual sessions) will study online materials during allotted time at work.
Online: Lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile, tablet or desktop - meaning apprentices can fit their study around work commitments, minimising disruption in the workplace. Each lesson lasts around 45 minutes and is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to enhance the learning experience further.
On Campus: Apprentices benefit from face-to-face classes at college with an experienced tutor. A combination of classroom-based lessons, group exercises and discussion encourage Apprentices to apply theory to real-life workplace situations.
This modern, flexible approach to Apprenticeship training empowers learners, minimises disruption to employers, and delivers tangible results in the workplace.
