This programme is aimed at women in middle management roles who are looking to progress into senior leader roles.

Our ethos is to enable women into senior positions, particularly in sectors and industries where women are under-represented.

Yes, with many changes to apprenticeships over the years, individuals and employers are harnessing the power of the levy to upskill and develop succession planning in their organisations.

They will need to support you and approve your place on the programme via a contract and an agreement, which we’ll work on behind the scenes.

You will be supported by either your line manager or a suitable mentor in the workplace to facilitate your skills development. 

Working with your programme lead, you’ll gain exposure and experience as a Senior Leader and develop your own brand of leadership. Your manager/mentor will attend your progress reviews with your programme leader, plotting and supporting your journey.

You will need to dedicate 3 hours for your own development and study time weekly. In addition, you’ll spend a further 3 hours putting your new skills into practice. This contributes to the “off-the-job” training. As a Senior Leader you’ll work this around your regular working week.

To summarise, you’ll spend a day a month for 14 months attending classroom workshops, supported by one-to-ones as needed with your own dedicated programme lead. You will log your time as you go. At the end of the programme, you will continue your study time to complete your business proposal, ready to present this to the CMI.

At the end of the programme, you will complete an external assessment (End Point Assessment) through the CMI. Once complete, you will receive accreditation as a Senior Leader at Level 7 and you’ll be able to use the nominal CMgr MCMI. The assessment will consist of a presentation and Q &A of your strategic business proposal, followed by a professional discussion of your experience documented in “My Story”. 

We limit spaces to 20 per programme, this is so that we can ensure you get dedicated and tailored support from your programme lead.

You can start the process by registering your interest, followed by an informal discussion with our programme leads. They’ll review your experience, complete a skills scan to ensure the programme is suitable, and assess your proficiency in English and Maths.

The final stage is to meet with your manager and mentor to share your training plan and then, that’s it, you’re off!

The induction will be held on Wednesday 9th October, with teaching commencing on Wednesday 16th October.
