Unique Learning Opportunity – Bring Your Leadership to Life
The Level 7 apprenticeship programme applies an innovative approach and active learning strategy to traditional academia and offers a unique blend of practical exercises designed for apprentices to hone essential leadership skills that bring learning to life.
The 18-month programme features four subject modules, each delivered over four days of in-person sessions at the NSIRC facility at TWI, Cambridge, UK. These face-to-face sessions are complemented by distance learning (consists of online seminars and real-world projects) and self-directed study.
These include dashboard creation for strategic analysis of data and visualisation of insight, podcast projects to learn communication skills and lead discussions, reflective exercises, solving real problems through case studies and crafting comprehensive reports to compile your insights and solutions.

Fully Funded by The Apprenticeship Levy
The SLA is a Level 7 programme designed by employers for working professionals. This fully-funded programme aligns with industry standards set by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE). To participate, applicants need to be employed by an organisation that supports their development through the programme.
Benefits of DMU apprenticeships for you and your employer:
The programme is funded through the levy system, with apprentices allocated Funding Band 12 (£14,000). This allows both employees and employers to benefit from this unique opportunity to upgrade leadership skills and development.
The eligibility of the apprenticeship levy funding is based on the organisation’s size:
- Larger organisations that contribute to the Apprenticeship Levy can recoup 100% for all qualifying apprentices.
- Small businesses can also access significant benefits from the apprenticeship programme, covering 95% cost through levy funding, by contributing only 5%.
Advance Your Career with Industry-Relevant Credentials and an Option to Attain an MBA
Once you have successfully completed the programme, you will receive; a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration awarded by DMU, and a Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship, along with the opportunity to gain Chartered Manager status (CMgr MCMI) through the End Point Assessment module.
There is also the opportunity, once the course has been completed and passed, to top up to an MBA (at a cost).
