Aspiring Practice Manager Apprenticeship

We have been working in conjunction with The Practice Manager’s Association and are delighted to deliver an ‘Aspiring Practice Manager’ apprenticeship.

We are pleased to be able to offer a Level 3 Team Leader Apprenticeship, a Level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager and a Level 7 Senior Leader for those who wish to study at a higher level.

The programmes take between 15-18 months to complete.

Bolt-on Training Modules

In addition to the teaching delivered by The PMA, which focuses on leadership and management, the Workforce and Training Hub have also added some ‘bolt-on’ modules to the programme to ensure that upon completion the learners will be better equipped to work as a Practice Manager/Assistant Practice Manager.

We have developed a programme of delivery that will suit the needs of the learners. The modules will be a mixture of face to face taught sessions combined with out wonderful virtual reality technology.

For the 2025 cohort we are delighted to announce we will be offering 3 full day teaching modules for learners on programme.

Topics for 2025 are still to be confirmed based on the needs of the practices/apprentices but in previous years these have included Patient facing skills for leaders, Leading teams, Conflict management and EDI for leaders amongst others.

The modules will be fully funded by the Training Hub.

Apprenticeship Cost

As GP practices in general are non-levy paying (with a wage bill under £3 million) the government pay 95% of the cost of the apprenticeship.

The training hub will support you in securing levy transfer for the remaining 5%. We will also continue to fund the bolt on modules.

Expressions of Interest

We are currently taking expressions of interest for a 2025 cohort.

If you have a member of staff who would like to join the programme, or look into it further, please complete this Expression of Interest Form and we can discuss further.

We do need a minimum number of learners to make the programme viable, and hopefully, as in previous years this won’t be an issue.
