Final Chance: Fund Executive-Level Training Before the Rules Change

Big changes are coming in January 2026 – and this could be your last chance to fund executive-level training.

From January, government funding for the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship is expected to be restricted to learners under the age of 22 at the point they start the programme.

If you’re a business owner or employer looking to invest in your leadership team – or in your own development – this may be your final opportunity to access fully funded, MBA-level training.

Delivered by HIT Training’s leadership and management division, the Executive Development Network (EDN) and awarded by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship is designed to equip senior managers and future executives to:

  • Drive strategic thinking and long-term planning
  • Lead change and manage large-scale teams and budgets
  • Gain a qualification equivalent to a Master’s degree (MBA-level)

If you or a team member begins the programme before January 2026, the full cost can still be covered through your Apprenticeship Levy or co-investment.

EDN are here to make it easy:

  • Check learner eligibility
  • Fast-track applications 
  • Help you secure funding before the deadline

Act now. Secure your future leaders.
