Project Management Apprentice

This Degree Apprenticeship programme is designed for those wishing to enhance their career through engaging in a work-based learning programme providing opportunities to develop your understanding of the Project Management subject discipline and capitalise on opportunities for applied learning within the context of your employment. 

You will therefore combine academic studies with work-based reflection including your own personal practices and behaviours. This is designed to equip you for influential roles within your organisations and support your longer-term career aspirations of working as a Project Manager across different sectors. 

To accelerate your learning, you will be exposed to theories and principles relating to all aspects of the project management lifecycle including initiation, planning, execution and closure. You will also explore topics including but not limited to scope definition, estimation & schedule management, resource planning, goals & benefits analysis, deliverable quality management, procurement, review, financial and contractual management, leading teams, strategic leadership and the management of change, risk and opportunities. You will subsequently be able to apply this knowledge and skill in your own context, and subsequently critically analyse the implementation and recommend potential future improvements in the context of working on and leading projects and programmes. 

Alongside developing your capabilities in the areas of the Project Management discipline, the programme will also develop you as a thorough professional and as such throughout the programme you will engage in a range of modules designed to develop your competences in areas such as Programme Portfolio & Project Management, Project Planning & Management, Project Change Control & Quality Management, Governance and Financial Control of Projects, Business Strategy for Project Professionals and Procurement and Contract Management. 

How will I be taught and assessed? 

Recognising you are busy working professionals; this Degree Apprenticeship will be delivered in flexible delivery modes. This will include a mix of taught workshop sessions in block mode supported by blended learning activities, which can be completed at home, or in the workplace. 

As a work-based programme, this Degree Apprenticeship will adopt applied assessment which will enable you to relate the learning gained directly to your current role or a role in which you aspire to work. These assessments are designed to provide demonstrable impact of your learning to your organisation, current projects or individual performance.
