Why this moment matters

From January 2026, the UK government will withdraw public funding for most professionals over 21 to access Level 7 apprenticeships.

For many senior leaders, that means the November 11 start is the final opportunity to join fully funded.

Learners who enrol this year will keep their funding through to completion – giving your business access to master’s-level leadership development with no tuition cost.

Strategic leadership in an AI-powered world

It’s one thing to make decisions - it’s another to make them when the pace of change never slows. We prepare leaders to weigh data, balance competing priorities, and take confident action in environments shaped by AI and digital disruption. It’s strategy you can actually apply on Monday morning.

Making digital transformation stick

AI adoption, automation, hybrid work - transformation isn’t about technology, it’s about people. We equip leaders to champion new ways of working, create momentum across teams, and embed change that improves both culture and performance. The goal: transformation your teams actually believe in.

Influence across the whole organisation

Senior leaders need to work confidently across functions, geographies, and levels - influencing decisions and priorities even where they have no direct authority. This programme builds the skills to engage stakeholders, align diverse perspectives, and keep complex initiatives moving forward. The result is stronger relationships, smoother delivery, and impact that reaches beyond your immediate team.
