Funding for our Senior Leader Level 7 Apprenticehip will go from 01/01/2026 - last chance to enrol 
CMI LEVEL 7 DIPLOMA IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP PRACTICE  
 
 
Last Chance to Enrol on the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship! 
 
From 1 January 2026, the UK government will withdraw public funding for most Level 7 apprenticeships, including the Senior Leader programme, for learners aged 22 and over. This change means that after December 2025, employers will need to cover the full cost themselves. 
 
Why Act Now? 
 
Enrol before 31 December 2025 to secure full funding through the Apprenticeship Levy. 
Gain a Master’s-level qualification and advanced leadership skills at no tuition cost. 
Future cohorts will be significantly more expensive for employers and individuals. 
 
Who is still eligible after January? 
 
Learners aged 16–21, or under 25 if a care leaver or with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). 
 
This is your final opportunity to invest in senior leadership development under the current funding model.  
Don’t miss out—spaces are filling fast!
