Course overview

A Chartered Manager is someone who takes responsibility for people, projects, operations and/or services to deliver long term organisational success, with the professional recognition of their ability to deliver impact, behave ethically and demonstrate their commitment to continual learning and development.

The Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship is perfect for managers and directors who want to master the strategic skills they need to deliver lasting results in their organisations. Throughout the programme, you will master the skills of people management and organisational strategy, find out more about using quantitative and qualitative data to inform decisions and develop your personal leadership skills.

The Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship delivers a university-level qualification, on-the-job experience and a professional pathway for future development. Our Degree Apprenticeship focuses on building the sought-after skills managers need to succeed in the 21st century. The course blends academic learning with work-based training, enabling you to become a confident, capable and independent Chartered Manager and achieve Chartered Manager (CMgr) status, the industry gold standard for management professionals.

Course content

The Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship is an exciting work-based route towards developing professionally competent Chartered Managers. It includes three parts:

  • Work-based learning, which means that the apprentice is in paid employment for the duration of their apprenticeship and receives on-the-job training and support.
  • Business education through the University of Hull leading to a relevant degree (to the value of 360 credits) that maps 100% to the published Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship Standards.
  • Through both of the above, apprentices are able to acquire knowledge and skills, and prepare for the End Point Assessment, which has the assessment for Chartered Manager embedded.

The course will prepare professional managers to develop fully all aspects of their management and leadership skills, knowledge, self-awareness and behaviours. These include strategic decision making, setting direction and achieving results, building and leading teams, clear communication, developing skills and motivating others, fostering inclusive and ethical cultures, leading change, project management, financial management, innovation, risk management, and developing stakeholder relationships.

This course is validated by The University of Hull. Read the University of Hull Collaborative Provision Guide for Students 2023/24.

You will undergo an end-point assessment that is carried out by an independent body. You must pass this in order to achieve the apprenticeship certificate. The end-point assessment for the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship involves an assessment of your portfolio of evidence which is collated whilst on-programme. You will submit a work-based project report; presentation of a work-based project and question; professional discussion and a competency-based interview. Before progressing to the end-point assessment, you must have achieved the degree that is included within your apprenticeship.

You will need pens, paper and access to a computer.

TBC

You can gain Chartered Manager (CMgr) status if you successfully complete your end-point assessment. You could also progress onto a Level 7 Strategic Management and Leadership qualification.

How much does the course cost?

There is no cost to being an apprentice. All costs associated with your apprenticeship, including the cost of training and your salary, will be paid by your employer.
