Apprenticeship partners

Our partner providers offer apprenticeships which either incorporate one of our leadership development programmes or offer them as an optional extra to their apprenticeship. 

Benefits of partnering with the NHS Leadership Academy

  • Partnering with NHS Leadership Academy and purchasing licences for its leadership development programmes enables apprenticeship providers to map the content to the apprenticeship standards and align it within their delivery as a unique selling point.
  • This means the apprentice receives a second qualification, alongside their apprenticeship, which is highly respected and acknowledged within health and care.
  • NHS Leadership Academy qualifications support career progression, retention and improved leadership and management skills leading to more engaged staff, teams and better patient outcomes.

Notice to apprenticeship providers: The Elizabeth Garrett Anderson programme is now available to purchase as a licence. Find out more here.
