Managers at level 5 play an integral role in in developing and supporting organisational objectives through a wide range of functions, such as: managing team dynamics, delegation and capability building, planning and managing projects, and managing budgets

It is expected that Level 5 higher apprentices will have significant experience of working at a junior or middle management level to ensure they have the suitable foundations on which to further build their knowledge and skills. Learners are also expected to have some line management experience. All individuals should be judged on their own merits, experiences and capabilities to ensure they are enrolled in the most appropriate Apprenticeship framework.

These programmes are part financed by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government.

Assessment will be made through assignments, work-based observations and work-based evidence
