95% Government Funded

Programmes can be funded by you, your employer, or for Diploma programmes only, through the Apprentice Scheme which means the Government pays at least 95% of your course fees* (*England only) Apprenticeships are designed to upskill existing managers and there are no age barriers.

How does the funding work?

Management apprenticeships are funded through a levy scheme operated by HMRC which deducts 0.5% of annual payroll above £3 million. Employers can access this fund when they employ an approved Apprenticeship provider such as us to deliver the programme. Cherith Simmons can directly access the funding to pay for the apprentices’ training. Other schemes provide 95% funding for smaller organisations, which Cherith Simmons can access on your behalf. Funding is currently worth £4,500.00 per apprentice making the training effectively free, except for the accreditation fee.

What certification will you get?

Uniquely, we deliver 2 qualifications in one:

  • Level 3 Leaders and Supervisors Apprenticeship,
  • Level 3 Diploma for Managers.

This means learners have more flexibility in deciding how they present their skills level, and it offers the opportunity to train managers who may not be eligible for an apprenticeship, on the same programme.

How is the programme delivered?

The programme is delivered through our Virtual Classroom system with highly interactive live zoom monthly workshops in 6-hour sessions over a year. Comprehensive workbooks are supplied by our fully integrated Learning Managing System. Self-study distance learning versions are available through our Night School programme.
