The Durham Senior Leader Apprenticeship
The Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship is a part-time, flexible programme aimed at highly motivated middle to senior managers across all sectors. The programme can be tailored to your business’ needs and it provides real-world business education where apprentices continually apply their learning directly back into the workplace.
The programme combines the core knowledge, skills and behaviours recognised in the Senior Leader Apprenticeship standard.
Topics covered in the programme include strategic management, operations & technology management, leadership & organisational behaviour, sustainability and business ethics, digital & international marketing and finance. These topics ensure apprentices develop the fundamental skills and knowledge that are needed to become a responsible and innovative leader. 
All participants who successfully complete the programme will be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate in Senior Leadership Development and will have the option to continue their studies towards a Durham MBA (Online) for an additional fee.
Our next cohort will start in June 2025. The application deadline to join the next cohort closes on 30 April 2025.
