Need your senior managers to progress? Our Level 5 Operational or Departmental Manager Apprenticeship Programme is the answer. It’s specifically designed for those in senior or second line management positions who have a strong desire to move into leadership roles, allowing them to acquire and hone the skills necessary to become the thriving leaders of tomorrow.
This programme builds on the Level 3 Team Leader Apprenticeship modules, and dives into much deeper detail around the topics. It’s perfect for more strategic roles, as individuals can apply the methodology and implement new, innovative processes and thinking. A core part of our dynamic, blended programmes includes influencing senior stakeholders, as we understand how crucial this is to levelling up senior managers.
We’re listed on the register of apprenticeship training providers (RoATP), which means we know a thing or two about helping you get the most out of an apprenticeship. We’ll work closely with you to identify the necessary skills development, as well as refine the content to meet the needs of your business. With our blended programmes facilitated by specialist coaches, trainers and tutors, learners can sharpen their performance and accelerate their careers.
Our programmes use a blended learning model that’s powered by our apprenticeship delivery platform, Aptem. You can expect:
Interactive workshops that are held both face-to-face and virtually.
Online coaching sessions that provide support on an individual level.
Enhanced eLearning content via engaging modules and skills development activities.
Our learning is tailored to the needs of your business, your people, and their locations. That’s why we offer it virtually, in person, or as a mixture of the two – whatever suits you. In terms of online education, our ePortfolio system (Aptem) provides every learner with a comprehensive programme where they can develop their knowledge, capabilities and behaviours. This will help them to become a confident senior manager, and thrive in their end-point assessment.

We’ll work with you to create a unique programme. This can include your own training content, vision and values, language, and terminology.
Our solutions are flexible and focused on results. What’s right for one client may not be the best approach for your people, so we’ll work together to determine the best design of your programme to maximise the results.
The structure of the programme has been designed to support the transfer of learning back into the workplace, giving learners ample opportunity to develop and practice their management and leadership skills, whilst supported by a professional trainer and dedicated development coach, culminating in an Ofqual-accredited qualification.
The duration of this apprenticeship is 18 months plus End Point Assessment.
A minimum average of six hours per week is required to obtain new know-how, skills and behaviours relating to the standard, as well as what’s applicable to their role.
The programme incorporates facilitator-led virtual or physical classroom training, eLearning, 121 coaching, and a variety of activities to help embed the knowledge into learners’ roles and businesses.
The learner must attain functional skills in maths and English every learner must attain functional skills in maths and English level 2 before the end point assessment, plus be able to show first line management experience.
By completing this standard, you’ll be able to demonstrate that you’ve successfully accomplished the Level 5 Operations or Departmental Manager Apprenticeship from the Institute of Leadership and Management, one of the most reputable management qualifications in the UK. What’s more, apprentices can register with the Chartered Management Institute or the Institute of Leadership and Management, and potentially apply for Chartered Manager status.
The End Point Assessment period is a maximum of four months, during which the assessment methods must be passed for the apprentice to successfully achieve their apprenticeship. This includes a work-based project, a presentation and a professional discussion.
Conducted by an independent body which is selected by the employer, the end-point assessment is the culmination of the 18-month training period. It’s an opportunity for the learner to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours they have acquired during the programme through a series of assessed activities.
These include completing a work-based project, a professional discussion and a presentation.
The outcome is either a pass or a distinction.
