We want to make all colleagues aware that government funding for Level 7 apprenticeships will be withdrawn from January 2026.
If you’ve been thinking about developing your skills through a Level 7 apprenticeship, whether in leadership, education, or another area, now is the time to act. This change applies regardless of the course or training provider, so if you're exploring options at this level, it’s important to move quickly.
For example, The National College of Education, one of our trusted providers, has just two remaining intakes for their Senior Leadership Apprenticeship: July and November 2025. Other providers may have similar deadlines, so we encourage you to check availability as soon as possible.
These programmes are a fantastic opportunity to gain a fully funded, high-level qualification while continuing in your current role.
