Designed for individuals who manage teams, projects, and operations within an organisation. It focuses on developing skills in areas such as operational planning, resource management, stakeholder engagement and problem-solving.
There are no mandatory professional qualifications as part of the Level 5 Operations Manager apprenticeship standards. However, our employers and learners tell us that professional qualifications add value to the learner and the organisation. As a result, we have created numerous adaptations of the training plan that allow for specific professional qualifications and knowledge aligned to the departments and functions in which they work, to be added to the programme. Optional qualifications include:
- CIPS Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Procurement and Supply
- APM Project Management Qualification
- Other qualifications on client request
Please contact us if you have any other additional qualification requirements or suggestions.
Whether in procurement, supply chain, logistics, or operations, your team can gain the management and leadership skills they require, whilst also optionally earning a recognised qualification. Learners will obtain the skills to manage teams and individuals, operational performance, contracts, suppliers, risk, finance, data and more - driving performance success in your organisation.
Suitable for:
- Area / Regional Manager
- Operations / Department Manager
- General or Specialist Manager
