New team leader and operations manager apprenticeships: what’s changed?
These modernised programmes feature a curriculum that is more relevant to contemporary leadership challenges, incorporating essential topics such as:
Mental health & wellbeing
Diversity, equity & inclusion
Emerging technologies
Ethics & value-based leadership
To enhance learning efficiency, classroom-based delivery has been optimised to ensure content is highly applicable to individuals’ day-to-day roles, with minimal and reduced time away from the day job.
Additionally, the end-point assessment window for the Operations Manager course has been extended by one month, and the programme duration has been increased by two months to accommodate the expanded curriculum.
These revised apprenticeships remain suitable for individuals in the same job roles as their predecessors, and both the Level 3 and Level 5 programmes continue to include a CMI certificate embedded at no additional cost, providing a valuable certification that enhances career prospects.
