About the programme
Starting in January 2025 through the ASPIRE programme you'll work through Henley's Senior Leader Apprenticeship and achieve
- Henley's Postgraduate Diploma in Management for Future Leaders
- Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship
- CMI Level 7 Award in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice
- Chartered Manager status
This programme will be taught using a blended learning method that combines face-to-face workshops with online and on-the-job learning. It provides strategic skills, business acumen and work-based learning exposure, prior to that step up into management. Which in turn, supports the growth of our future People Manager capability within Capgemini.
“This apprenticeship expanded my understanding of successful business practices. It transformed me into a more effective employee, helping me drive performance and utilise skills aligned with successful business leaders. I highly recommend this course for self-development and excellence in their teams and organisation.”

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 9 days plus blended learning component across the whole 15 months programme.
