Your Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship will typically take you between 2 and 2 and a half years to complete. However, the duration of your course will depend on your previous experience.
During an apprenticeship, students will use their own workplace to ensure that real life work scenarios are being assessed whilst working towards Level 7 and MBA qualifications. The way we assess our students provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your strengths in a variety of ways while still fulfilling your job. That’s why we choose a range of different methods to keep track of your progress. These include:
You'll have a dedicated personal support officer, as well as meeting regularly with your line manager, so that they can keep you on track with your progress.
This apprenticeship course is run primarily online, with a quarterly face-to-face full day masterclass. Arden provides an ideal combination of online learning and scheduled face-to-face sessions, either at your workplace or at one of our study centres, arranged by your employer.
