This apprenticeship is fully interactive (no death by PowerPoint). This approach makes the programme a relevant, applicable, tool-based, blended learning experience that will enhance personal, team, operational and organisational performance.
APPRENTICESHIP TIMELINE
During that time participants will attend and receive...
During 2 day workshops designed and facilitated by our experienced in-house team, participants will develop new skills, tools and behaviours that they can immediately put to effective use in the workplace.
We will provide a safe, open and relaxed environment for each participant to practice and interact with colleagues, to help to maximise their potential as managers and leaders.
In the gap between our 2 day workshops, participants will need to make use of our ‘Fuel Hub’. Designed to provide quick and easy access to a wealth of learning materials, each level 5 participants will expand their knowledge and understanding of leadership and management – through a series of online learning modules.
If extra support is required, participants can attend additional support days. These learner days are primarily to help participants to complete workplace application tasks at the required standards.
As the title suggests, these days are not compulsory, but can be used to help anyone who requires additional support.
An added benefit of our level 5 leadership and management apprenticeship, is that learners will be able to contact their facilitators and the Fuel quality team throughout the programme. This can be via arranged online meetings, email, phone, whichever works best for you. We’re available to help when you need it.
As well as with the support provided by the Fuel team, participants will also receive support from their Line Manager. This helps to ensure that participants are able to stay on track and have the opportunity to develop their skills in the workplace.
This is achieved with a phone call usually every 12 weeks, with participants and their line manager, together with the Fuel team.
The final stage of the level 5 apprenticeship is an End Point Assessment (EPA). This is a culmination of the new skills and tools learned by participants and the work they have put into the apprenticeship programme.
Once the End Point Assessment has been successfully completed, participants will receive a nationally recognised level 5 certificate.PERSONAL BENEFITS

LEVEL 5 LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS OVERVIEW
Each of our face to face workshop modules have been designed to engage participants throughout the day, creating an enjoyable and fully interactive learning environment. Each full day is split into 4 mini sections, with a full review and action plan at the end of each session.
These mini sessions or ‘bite-sized’ sessions help learners to more easily engage with the learning materials and take in information, while regular reviews and summaries help participants to apply what they have learned in the workplace.
If these sessions are taking place on-location, we recommend participants bring their own laptops. However, we can provide laptops when necessary.
INITIAL ENGAGEMENT & INDUCTION
Level 5 Leadership and Management begins with an introduction, which provides participants with a full understanding of the apprenticeship. This includes the commitments and support expected from their organisation and line-manager.
Much of the introduction will be completed using the Fuel Hub, where participants will provide their personal data etc. All data will be secured digitally and only used by us.
PREPARING FOR SUCCESS
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
The second module starts to explore how to build meaningful and impactful professional relationships with teams, colleagues and customers. Good relationships, whether they are with customers, suppliers, partners or staff, are a key contributor to an organisation’s success. To build stakeholder relationships that are long lasting and sustainable, they need to be planned and developed.
This module explores the types and purposes of stakeholder relationships and the skills required to overcome challenges and manage these effectively. Learners will explore influencing and negotiation techniques and will combine these with the Insights Discovery knowledge for enhanced success.
LEADING & MANAGING OTHERS
Module 3 focuses on project management, providing a detailed insight into the tools and techniques needed to run a successful project.
Each individual will be required to complete a project as part of their apprenticeship. The specifics of the project will vary and can be personalised to the participants industry and role. However, the requirements and overall principles of carrying out a project will remain the same.

This module has been designed to enable the learner to evaluate types and reasons for change within organisations and be able to select and apply theoretical models for its management. The purpose is not only to enable learners to develop the skills to manage change and achieve set objectives, but to do so in a professional manner with open and honest communication throughout the entire process. Innovation has the power to transform organisations, teams and individual performance. When a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship thrives, new ideas and initiatives flourish.

Initial engagement & induction
The initial engagement and induction are designed to ensure the participants have a full understanding of the programme, the required commitments, the support from their organisation and line manager. Participants will complete most of the induction, such as providing the required personal data, via the Fuel Hub. This is a secure digital process and starts the participant on their journey to starting their programme.
Preparing for success
The first module focuses on setting the scene for the apprenticeship programme and starts the individual on their development journey. Reflective practice is an essential management tool which supports the development of knowledge, skills and behaviours in the work place. By consciously analysing own performance, decision making, leadership and management skills (in different situational contexts); opportunities for on-going development can be identified. Learners will explore their own personal preferences using the Insights Discovery module and their personal profile will form the basis of their personal development plan. Learners will explore the 5 Principles of Leadership and identify actions designed to promote a culture of mutual trust, respect and support.
