The Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship we offer has been developed with Procurement and Supply Professionals at the heart. This Apprenticeship is suitable for those that work as Managers or Senior Leaders in Procurement and Supply and coach, manager or mentor individuals and would have a need to develop business proposals.
As Apprentices will be required to provide evidence of knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSB’s) suitable candidates for this apprenticeship should:

You will receive support throughout your entire apprenticeship from your Training Provider, your Employer, and the End Point Assessment Organisation. As your training provider our tutors and learner success team are on hand to support you throughout your journey whether that is with SEN requirements, examination support, emotional support, assignment support, assistance with study, revision or even an examination resit and much more.
Your Employer will support you to achieve your apprenticeship and assist with opportunities to practice newly learnt skills and knowledge and satisfy evidence requirements. They will also support you throughout the end point assessment period.
End Point Assessment Organisations, along with your employer are responsible for supporting you through the final stage of your apprenticeship and will provide support and guidance during this final stage.
This apprenticeship takes approximately 30-36 months to complete depending on your start date and individual progress. There are 3 main components: Knowledge (24 months), Gateway (1 month) and End Point Assessment (5-6 months).
Individuals who undertake this apprenticeship will be able to deliver high performance procurement and supply chain strategies, setting direction for procurement and supply chains, influence key procurement stakeholders, conduct market research and data analysis, drive continuous improvement in procurement and supply chains, develop and drive risk management strategies for procurement, lead on strategic procurement programmes and projects, develop continuity plans for procurement and supply chains, understand and implement corporate social responsibility and ethics for procurement departments, develop financial budgets and procurement strategies, resource management, contract management, strategic negotiation and influencing techniques, lead and manage procurement teams and supply chains whilst considering equality and diversity and develop communication strategies for procurement and supply chains plus much more.
In addition to undertaking CIPS Level 5 and 6 examinations this apprenticeship is assessed throughout by our course mentors and tutors.
The end point assessments consist of two elements; a professional discussion supported by a portfolio of evidence (60mins) and a Presentation (20mins) of a strategic business proposal followed by a questioning Interview (40mins):
The minimum duration for any apprenticeship is 12 months however, realistically it will take the 30-36 months as stated. However, depending on you and your employer’s commitment to the programme and the opportunities available to you in the workplace there maybe opportunities to fast track. Purchasing apprenticeship programmes are very individual so it’s worth asking the question. Remember, there are many assessments throughout this Apprenticeship and would recommend that adequate time is taken to complete the programme to maximise the value.
A level 7 Apprenticeship is equivalent to a Masters Degree. Different to traditional academic qualifications whereby completing an Apprenticeship allows individuals to practice theory in the workplace and utilises both “on the job” and “off the job” training, and of course with the added benefit of being paid whilst you learn! And not necessarily on an “apprenticeship wage”.
The Senior Leader Apprenticeship is developed specifically for Managers, Senior Manager and Leaders from all organisations, sectors, and departments. Often these are tailored specially to suit differing functions and industries.
