Big changes are coming in January 2026 – and this could be your last chance to fund executive-level training.
From January, government funding for the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship is expected to be restricted to learners under the age of 22 at the point they start the programme.
If you’re a business owner or employer looking to invest in your leadership team – or in your own development – this may be your final opportunity to access fully funded, MBA-level training.
Delivered by HIT Training’s leadership and management division, the Executive Development Network (EDN) and awarded by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship is designed to equip senior managers and future executives to:
- Drive strategic thinking and long-term planning
- Lead change and manage large-scale teams and budgets
- Gain a qualification equivalent to a Master’s degree (MBA-level)
If you or a team member begins the programme before January 2026, the full cost can still be covered through your Apprenticeship Levy or co-investment.
EDN are here to make it easy:
- Check learner eligibility
- Fast-track applications
- Help you secure funding before the deadline
Act now. Secure your future leaders.
