I took on the role of Managing Director nearly two years ago and, previous to that, it’s been ten years since I’ve done any kind of education so I figured it was exactly the right time to come back and brush up on new theories, get new content and figure out how I apply that to my job.

Senior leader apprenticeships

Level 7 senior leadership apprenticeships are for professional strategic leaders in the private, public or third sector who are responsible for delivering results through:

• Direction and vision;
• Identifying long term opportunities and risks;
• Shaping innovative and supportive cultures.

Specific job roles may include General Manager, Senior Manager, Executive, Director, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Information Officer.

Professionals from a range of sectors and backgrounds, including engineering, finance, law, health and manufacturing, work together on our multi-organisational programmes. Companies can also choose to commission an in-house programme, dependent upon student numbers.

It will help with some areas that I need to develop in order for me to progress within my career. It allows me to do this as part of my full-time job.
