“Completing the senior leadership apprenticeship has really changed my role. It's really helped me to, take a different lens on the way we do everything…I’ve actually been able to step back and look at things in a very different way. It has enabled me to really grow as an individual and a leader has helped me to develop my team as well”James Willis, Bupa

Frequently asked questions
What if I don’t have Level 2 qualifications in English and maths/can't find my certificates?
To successfully complete their apprenticeship learners must hold Level 2 qualifications in English and maths.
The government has provided a useful link for those who may have mislaid their exam certificates. If you need to obtain these qualifications before starting the programme, the Apprenticeship Engagement Team (aet@henley.ac.uk) can help you via a short programme before you start. If you obtained your qualifications overseas, please send your certificates to the Apprenticeship Engagement Team so they can be checked against the National database.
Why is there an interview?
The apprenticeship programmes are bound by apprenticeship rules which state that all applicants must be interviewed. This is an important step in order to create your individualised learning plan.
How often will I be expected to attend face-to-face workshops at Henley?
The programmes require learners to attend workshops for each module. In total there are 8 days plus blended learning component across the whole15 months programme.
