An Apprenticeship Levy-funded programme is a government-funded apprenticeship. On completion, you’ll receive the Level 3 Team Leader/Supervisor Apprenticeship Qualification or Level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager Qualification.
An Enterprise programme is commercially funded by your employer. On completion, you’ll receive a Future Talent Learning Transformational Leadership Programme Level 3 or Level 5 certificate.
Select ‘Yes’ if the education or training provider you’re completing the course with describes it as full time. If you attend a full time course on a part time basis, this is still considered to be full time.
Select ‘No’ if the education or training provider you’re completing the course with describes it as part time.
I’m not sure how to answer the question ‘Have you previously undertaken any government funded training’.
Government funded training can take many forms, including:
• Another apprenticeship in any subject area
• Any study funded by a student loan or student finance
If you have part-completed or fully completed a previous apprenticeship at any time answer 'Yes' to this question.
If you have had any training that involved government assistance (even if this assistance is being/has been repaid), answer ‘Yes’ to this question.
Undertaking an apprenticeship requires dedication. If you’re already studying on another course, or plan to do so whilst on the TLP, you may find it challenging to balance both activities. We want to ensure that you’ve carefully considered your capacity before enrolling in order to thrive on the programme.

Your Knowledge, Skills & Behaviours Assessment is a form which involves you assessing yourself to identify your current level of knowledge and understanding linked to key areas of the programme. Your coach will discuss (moderate) the scores with your and your Line Manager to asses programme eligibility. Once moderated, the outcomes will enable your coach to adapt your programme of study to support you and your individual development needs.
The Initial Assessments are a required component set by the Department for Education which all learners need to complete. The online Initial Assessment evaluates your current working level of English and maths. Please don’t rush your answers; this will ensure an accurate assessment outcome.
It’s important for you to complete these Initial Assessments as they will help your coach to determine if you require any further support with your learning journey.
What happens if I score below Level 1 in my initial assessments in either maths or English at the application stage?
Sadly, individuals who score Entry Level 1, 2 or 3 (i.e. below Level 1) will find it too much of a challenge to complete the programme. In this case, we recommend you visit one of the sites below where you can find English and maths Functional Skills support to help you to gain confidence in operating at a Level 1 standard (some are free).
Once you are confidently operating at a Level 1 standard, you are welcome to re-apply for the programme. Often it takes just a few months to move from Entry Level 3 to a Level 1 standard of competency.
You will be asked on your enrolment form if you have achieved GCSEs (grades A* - C), A-levels or equivalent, or higher qualifications in English and / or maths. If you haven’t achieved these qualifications, you will have the option to take Functional Skills Training in English and/or maths, (with your employer's agreement).
Note - If you already hold GCSEs or equivalent qualifications, you aren’t eligible to receive funding for Functional Skills, as the government doesn’t provide funding for qualifications that have already been achieved.
The Functional Skills qualifications are incredibly useful qualifications to hold. You will acquire understanding of English and mathematical skills and the ability to effectively apply this thinking to successfully solve problems in the workplace and other real-life situations.
Functional Skills Level 2 qualifications are nationally recognised and equivalent to a GCSE Grade 4/C.
During your Enrolment Meeting with your Enrolment Coach, they will:
• Discuss your prior learning
• Talk about additional learning support (ALS)
• Explain the programme structure
• Make recommendations on planning your time to ensure you complete your learning within your working hours
• Ensure you fulfil the Levy-funding requirements (if applicable).
• Show you how to use your Learner Management System (Aptem) and the Events Hub
• Answer any questions you may have
If your weekly contracted hours are 30 or more, the minimum time commitment is 6 hours per week.
If your weekly contracted hours are fewer than 30, you must dedicate a minimum of 20% of your contracted working hours to learning while you’re on the programme. Your coach will calculate your off-the-job hours and extend your programme duration on a pro-rata basis during your enrolment.
