You can utilise your employer’s government-backed apprenticeship levy to develop and empower yourself through our ILM and CMI-accredited Management Apprenticeships scheme. Our unique programme blends digital and hands-on learning to help you discover and reach your true potential.

FAQs

What is the levy all about?

  • Employers with a paybill of over £3m need to pay 0.5% of this to the government as a Management Apprenticeships levy.
  • However, they can then use this money to effectively secure a leadership and management programme for their people.
  • If they do not use their levy within 24 months, they lose it.
  • We find that a number of organisations are replacing their existing leadership, management and talent programmes with levy funded programmes.

Who can be an apprentice?

  • Leadership and management apprenticeships are for everyone in your organisation (both existing and new employees), and we have programmes that target aspiring managers, middle managers and senior leaders (including the CEO).
  • Our programmes typically last for 2 years, and require about 1 day per week to focus on improving their organisation and developing leadership and management skills.
  • At the end of our programmes, participants receive a Diploma from the CMI or ILM.

What are the benefits?

  • Management and leadership apprenticeships are an essential tool for creating an effective workforce by unlocking the potential of the management team.
  • Our management apprenticeships seek to make your organisation more productive, and the below research shows the impact this can have.

What our apprentices and customers are saying…

  • "We started working with Accipio back in December 2017 to deliver the Operational/Departmental Manager level 5 Apprenticeship. They offer a high quality of service, are very responsive and the assessors are really professional who provide regular support to our participants and track their learning progress. They have also shown great flexibility to accommodate our requests to meet individual’s unique needs and help them to overcome any challenges. Our second cohort started the programme in August 2018, and this has proved that Accipio is constantly looking at improving the process which reflected in better learners’ experience and programme completion rate."

    Maria, NHS Property Services

  • “I chose to participate in the management and leadership apprenticeship as I felt I was at a stage in my career when it depends on more than just technical skills and a willingness to work hard. I also realised I needed soft skills, not least of which is the ability to take on a leadership role. I am only two leadership disciplines into the apprenticeship, and I am already applying the skills I have learnt which is having a great impact on my current role. I have applied a strategy for a leadership style that is right for me, which has enabled me to be more disciplined in leading myself before I can lead others. Developing situational awareness, inspiring others and empowering teammates. It has also taught me to be a discerning listener in resolving conflicts. Good leadership skills are essential to advancing my career. What a fanatic opportunity of having a blended learning package to engage in. I look forward to progressing through the apprenticeship.”

    Rachel (Apprentice)

  • "I feel more enlightenment and empowerment following our session. The coach’s diverse skills make them hugely proficient at this role, they themselves exude – leadership qualities, avid listing, ability to steer strategic discussions in the right direction in a gentle way."

    - Lead Business Analyst

  • "Eye opening experience looking at team preferences and this is only the start of the programme."

    - Principal Policy and Portfolio Manager

What we Value

Research

We use evidence-based research from academia and client data to inform our learning material.

Standards

As partners of ILM and CMI, managers who undergo our programs are assessed to meet standards set by industry experts.

Analysis

We continually evaluate what works for our clients, what works with managers and evolve our delivery to ensure the optimal results.

Insight

Managers are provided with suitable tools, and develop skills in order to change ways of working and create their own “Ah-ha!” moments to challenge the status quo.

Collective Data

Our trainers are experts in their fields; ranging from former CEO’s, lecturers in the most prestigious business schools in the world, to Royal Marines. We collaborate to bring this incredible wealth of experience together to work best for you.

Our Delivery Model

Experiential Workshops

Through our hands-on workshops, managers move through a process of information to transformation.

Fortnightly Strategic Discussions

A safe space allows managers to gain a greater understanding of the interrelated nature of challenges, whilst it also acts as a forum to share and exchange ideas.

Individualised One to One

A high level of individual consideration and support increases managers’ well-being and reduces burnout. This is not a ‘light-touch’ approach; care and attention is the deciding factor in management apprentices being successful.

Full Day Group Study

Formal assessments are brainstormed in a group with a dedicated facilitator. These former assessors know how to help managers reflect on their experience to evidence their knowledge.

Approach to Learning

Individual Internalisation

We help to develop the self-concept of managers, through building self-awareness using personalised tools such as 360 reports and other psychometric methods.

Relational Recognition

We help managers to build relationships between new theoretical concepts and their experiences. They will gain awareness as to how their personality-preferences and leadership styles inform team interaction and dynamics.

Collective Endorsement

Through strategic discussions, your managers will socially identify themselves as better leaders and change champions.
