Who is this for?

Designed and available under the Level 6 UK Degree Apprenticeship levy, this qualification is most suitable for entry or mid-level managers looking to develop their broad business skills, learn how to apply that knowledge in their workplace, and to do so with the goal of achieving a bachelor’s degree at the end.

Curriculum

This apprenticeship is delivered through a flexible blend of virtual classes and face-to-face workshops at our historic Ashridge campus, over a period of 3.5 years. Assessments are relevant to the employing organisation and are designed to challenge established thinking and drive innovation. Working with peers and Ashridge faculty, participants get to explore, imagine and engage in a safe and supportive environment, with the goal of applying their learning in the context of their own workplace.

The course starts with an induction webinar before the first module. After that, each module consists of 1.5 days face-to-face learning (residentials) and six weeks of virtual study, as well as continuous on the job learning and application of knowledge.

This qualification is designed with three key themes in mind: Managing Self and Others, New Age Business and Ecosystems, and Business in Action. The structure allows participants to progress through these themes, exploring themselves as leaders while understanding the challenges of a constantly evolving business environment. We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students.
