Apprenticeships allow 16+ year olds to start work and earn a wage, while learning new skills that lead to nationally recognised qualifications. Advanced Apprenticeships are designed with the help of employers in the industry, so they offer a structured programme that takes apprentices through the skills needed to do a job well. Most of an apprentice’s training takes place on the job but they will also have to complete off-the-job training within college either by day release or over a number of days in a block. Management advanced apprentices work towards a nationally-recognised competence based qualification and also a knowledge-based qualification.

The Apprenticeship covers the following:

• Solving problems and making decisions
• Managing your own resources and professional development
• Providing leadership in your area of responsibility
• Allocating and monitoring the progress and quality of work in your area of responsibility
• Ensuring health and safety requirements are met in your area of responsibility
• Employer rights and responsibilities
• Plus extra optional units

Applicants will need to have a good command of English and Maths and be working in an appropriate level of employment with management responsibilities.

The Apprenticeship is assessed through work-based assignment and tutor observation.

At the end of the programme apprentices will have achieved:

• Functional skills in Maths, English and ICT
• Employee Rights and Responsibilities
• Personal Learning and Thinking Skills

When you have successfully completed the Advanced Apprenticeship you can go on to study on management courses at level 5.

This course will enable you to work in middle and senior management job roles.
