Senior Leaders are a key component of all types of business model where there is a workforce to lead, manage and support. The broad purpose of the occupation is to provide clear, inclusive and strategic leadership and direction relating to their area of responsibility within an organisation. Typically, this involves setting, managing and monitoring the achievement of core objectives that align to the overall strategic objectives of their organisation’s Board (or equivalent). In a smaller organisation they are also likely to contribute to the execution and achievement of these strategic objectives.
Apprenticeship Assessment Components
To complete their Apprenticeship Assessment, Senior Leader apprentices must achieve a pass or distinction in the following two components.
-
Component 1: Strategic business proposal
The strategic business proposal must be undertaken after the apprentice has gone through gateway. It involves the apprentice completing a significant, relevant and defined piece of work that has a real business benefit. The proposal should be designed to ensure that the apprentice’s work meets the needs of the business, is relevant to their role and allows the appropriate knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSBs) to be assessed.
Component 2: Presentation with questioning
This component involves the apprentice presenting to the Apprenticeship Assessment Assessor, followed by questioning from the assessor. Apprentices will prepare and deliver a presentation that appropriately covers the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) assigned to this assessment method. The purpose of the questioning is to seek clarification of the strategic business proposal or presentation, to assess the depth and breadth of the KSBs, and to assess those KSBs that the apprentice did not have the opportunity to demonstrate with the proposal (although these should be kept to a minimum).
