We are working in partnership with Best Practice Network to offer schools a funded route to access the National Professional Qualifications in School Leadership.

The Leader Apprenticeships with NPQs are a dual award which have embedded the following DfE NPQs into the Level 4 Project Manager Apprenticeship or Level 5 Learning & Development Consultant Business Partner Apprenticeship:

• NPQLTD - L4 Project Manager
• NPQLT - L4 Project Manager
• NPQLBC - L4 Project Manager
• NPQ for SENCOs - Learning & Development Consultant Business Partner
• NPQSL - Learning & Development Consultant Business Partner

This combination means learners concurrently earn two highly prestigious qualifications.
