Earlier this year the Government announced the end of funding for Level 7 apprenticeships for those over 22. In order to ensure qualification for funding for a final cohort of this course, we have brought forward the start date of our planned January cohort into December. This will be the last opportunity to access funding for the qualification through the Apprenticeship Levy.

Our Senior Leader Apprenticeship (SLA) is a two-year programme which was created for both aspiring and current school and college leaders, administrators and managers in schools, colleges, universities, local authorities or academy trusts.

This programme offers a triple qualification. As the SLA is fully integrated with our MA in Educational Leadership, the programme also offers you the opportunity to gain a full master’s degree, on completion of one further module. It is also affiliated with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), so successful candidates gain the CMI Chartered Manager Status (CMgr).

Our Senior Leader Apprenticeship plus Master's in Educational Leadership is underpinned by the best and latest evidence of “what works”. It is designed and delivered by experienced school leaders who understand your journey.

"[This course] was transformational for me professionally and personally." Graduate, Summer 2023

If you live and work in England, the Apprenticeship Levy can be used by your employer to fund your place on our final cohort, making it FREE to both your school and yourself.

Bring your questions about the course to this event and put them to our course leaders.
