Government Funded Apprenticeship Programme
Senior Management Development Programme
Lead with confidence. Influence with integrity. Deliver real business impact.
The Senior Management Development Programme is a 12-month, performance-led programme built for managers who need to think strategically, lead people brilliantly, and deliver operational results — not just “do a management course.”
You’ll develop stronger leadership behaviours, sharper operational decision-making, and real-world project delivery — supported by expert coaching, FranklinCovey learning, and a programme designed to help learners achieve outstanding EPA outcomes (98% distinction rate).
What does the programme include?
How is this programme different?
A senior programme that actually changes performance — not just knowledge.
-
Built around real operational leadership (strategy, stakeholders, risk, budgets, governance, change).
-
Blended delivery so learners apply learning in the workplace, not just watch content.
-
Expert support + coaching to keep momentum and confidence high.
-
Workplace project that creates tangible impact, not a “tick-box” assignment.
-
Globally recognised FranklinCovey content embedded into the journey.
-
EPA-ready from day one with structured preparation and guidance throughout
Funding
Government funding makes this a no-brainer.
Levy-paying employers get the course fully funded, while non-levy payers contribute just 5% – as little as £350 per learner.
The full course value is £7,000 per learner with no hidden fees.
