Chartered Manager Fast track (Mary Seacole)

Entry requirements

The Chartered Manager programme has two entry routes:

• Application through Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning (APCL): This is where the applicant will have evidence of a L5 Leadership and Management qualification (completed within past five years) which can be accredited to demonstrate there is already an understanding of Leadership and Management principles
• Application through Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL): where an applicant has no APCL evidence, completion of an assessment will be required before acceptance to the programme to demonstrate previous management experience and professional competencies gained over time.

Applicants will have a minimum of two years management experience.

There is a requirement from the Education and Skills Funding Agency that apprentices hold a level 2 qualification in English and Mathematics.

If an applicant does not hold GCSE's (C /4 or above) in English and Maths or cannot evidence these or equivalent qualifications, they should be willing to work towards Level 2 Functional Skills qualifications prior to Gateway.

For more information about how we support Functional Skills, click here.

Applicants will be in a role that supports the gathering of evidence required for the Chartered Manager apprenticeship ‘standard’.

Individual employers may set additional selection criteria in discussion with the University.

Applicants must also have a valid and eligible residency status to gain entry onto the apprenticeship – please see the ESFA guidance for further information.
