Apprenticeship Overview
Learn how to deliver change and get results. On our Project Manager Level 4 apprenticeship, you’ll become confident in ensuring the smooth delivery of change in any business sector, and skillfully navigating the impact of common challenges that projects face. That means less downtime, more performance. And in a world of constant change, digital transformation, and increased competition, the ability to manage complex projects and improve performance has never been more critical.
This apprenticeship is for those looking to take on the responsibility of managing projects, project activities, and workstreams. Get the know-how to plan project delivery, from scheduling activities, identifying risks and opportunities, to developing and maintaining resource plans. During the programme, you’ll also learn to monitor your projects, tracking everything from budget to quality through the project lifecycle. You’ll learn what it takes to respond appropriately to challenges, opportunities, and how to adapt to change.
