Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship (BA (Hons) Leadership & Management)

Entry Requirements

Candidates will have a Level 3 qualification (e.g. A levels), and English and Maths at Level 2 (GCSE/O Level) or above. Candidates who do not hold a Level 3 qualification but have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in management will also be considered. Entry onto the programme will be subject to an interview with the course team.

Candidates will be embarking upon a challenging course and will also need to balance personal situations (home and paid work) with the amount of degree work required to cover during the course. This could be an extra 12 or more hours per week.

All candidates are required to complete an initial online assessment for Maths and English at Level 2 when joining the course, irrespective of previous qualifications. To complete the apprenticeship, all apprentices must complete or already hold a Maths and English qualification at level 2 or above. Candidates must commit to working towards gaining these qualifications while also studying for their degree, if not already held.

All candidates must have the support of their employer as the apprenticeship will involve regular progress reviews, conducting a work-based project and building a portfolio of work-based evidence. Also, apprentices will be required to complete job-related assignments that may require them to have greater access to management activities. If you are interested in undertaking this apprenticeship, please seek approval through your current employer, as individuals can not apply directly.
