About this course

The Senior Leader Apprenticeship (SLA) is an innovative alternative to a traditional master’s in Business, placing you and your organisation at its core.

Who is it for?

The SLA is ideal for new senior managers or those who have progressed within their organisation and require development as a senior leader.

How is it delivered?

This blended work-based apprenticeship is delivered over 24 months and includes four modules, assignment workshops, writing retreats, academic skills development sessions and tutorials. Each module is delivered in blocks of two days onsite and two days online.

You will be supported by the Programme Team and the Centre for Enhancement in Learning and Teaching (CELT) to develop the academic skills needed for success. Furthermore, SLAs will be encouraged to take advantage of the business facilities and services offered by Lincolnshire Open Research and Innovation Centre (LORIC) and BG Futures, BGU’s onsite Business and Enterprise Centre and Careers, Employability and Enterprise Team.

There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification although an initial assessment will take place to ensure the apprenticeship is the most appropriate training programme for the individual. Candidates will need to be in employment (in England) where their line manager is able to support them through the apprenticeship- Individual employers will set the selection criteria for their Apprenticeship and employment role. As a guide, candidates might have A levels (or equivalent) or existing relevant Level 3 qualifications, and English and Maths at Level 2. (where approved English and Maths qualifications are not held these will need to be completed during the apprenticeship programme). Other relevant or prior experience may also be considered as an alternative alongside consideration of the suitability of the role being undertaken and the opportunities to develop and apply the required knowledge, skills and behaviours.
