Gain the Skills to Thrive as a Manager

Apply by 17 March

Strengthen your people leadership skills and improve team performance on the Ashridge Future Leaders Programme—a fully funded Level 5 Operations Manager apprenticeship with integrated CMI Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management.

Only for employees based within England

Currently fully funded by the government

With the government actively reviewing apprenticeship funding, there’s growing concern that leadership and management funding could soon be cut altogether. So if you're considering progressing your career to the next level, and building the skills and confidence you need to be the best manager you can be, then apply now to join our next cohort in April.

"This programme opened doors I would never have expected, building my confidence, network, and leadership skills while helping me bring new ideas and ways of working back to my team."

Employers

We work with employers across England to maximise their apprenticeship levy in a variety of ways.

  • Considering a closed cohort for your employees?
  • Global company wanting to deliver consistent leadership and management training?
