About this course

Free Level 5 Leaders and Managers Course. Work-based training at your workplace. You study while managing teams or projects in your current role, with a qualified trainer visiting monthly to support your progress and build your portfolio. Entry requirements are set by your employer, but typically include five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above. Apprentices who do not yet hold Level 2 English and maths will need to achieve that before the end-point assessment. The course takes around one year.

Who this course is for

The duration of this apprenticeship standard is 36 months. (Depending on experience this time could be shorter.)

An operations/departmental manager is someone who manages teams and/or projects, and achieving operational or departmental goals and objectives, as part of the delivery of the organisations strategy.

The completion of this standard will require monthly training visits from a qualified IPS Trainer to develop the apprentice's skills and progress the build of the apprentice portfolio to prepare the apprentice for End Point Assessment.

Entry requirements

The entry requirement for this Apprenticeship will be decided by each employer, but may typically be five GCSEs at Grade 4/C or higher. Apprentices without level 2 English and mathematics will need to achieve this level prior to taking the end-point assessment.

What you will learn

  • You'll manage teams to deliver operational and departmental goals.
  • You'll lead projects from planning through to completion.
  • You'll contribute to the delivery of your organisation's strategy.
  • You'll develop and evidence your management skills through a structured portfolio.
  • You'll apply practical leadership techniques in your day-to-day role.

How you will learn

You learn in your workplace, applying skills directly to your job. A qualified trainer visits monthly to develop your skills and support your portfolio build. Assessment takes place through an end-point assessment at the close of the programme. You'll need Level 2 English and maths before you sit the end-point assessment if you don't already hold them.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. IPS International will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Operations manager: overseeing day-to-day business functions
  • Departmental manager: leading a team within a larger organisation

What you could study next

After completing this Level 5 Diploma for Leaders and Managers, you could move toward a Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship, which covers strategic leadership and is aligned with MBA-level study. A Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership is another route if you want to develop at director level. Both build directly on the operational management skills you've gained here.
