Our Approach

Specialising exclusively in the delivery of Level 3 and 5 Leadership and Management Apprenticeships, we are experts in quickly establishing a deep knowledge and understanding of your business. We carefully contextualise delivery of our apprenticeships to align with your strategy, values, and culture ensuring that the learning is easily transferred into day-to-day leadership capability and sustainable performance improvement.

From pre-programme communication and engagement activities to end assessment, that’s our expertise and strength – taking great care to help you to create the future leaders and managers that your organisation really needs!

Strategy Meeting and Engagement

We develop an initial understanding of your leadership and management needs and explain how apprenticeships and the Levy can be utilised as the perfect solution, taking care to answer all of your questions as we go. Once you are ready to move forward we can support you in formalising Raise the Bar as your chosen provider, agree responsibilities, and input and guide the communications and engagement activities required for your potential apprentices.

Design and Enrolment

Your programme will be branded for your organisation and content contextualised to reflect your key strategic priorities, values, culture and language. The programme will be planned to fit with your business and its operations. We will check learner eligibility for funding and the apprenticeship/ILM qualification and undertake all formal enrolment activities.

Programme Delivery and Assessment

In addition to the sessions facilitated by management experts and wide variety of learning resources and support available through the apprenticeship, each learner will also be allocated their own dedicated coach. The coach will work with each learner to agree, monitor and support them through their own individual learner plan to prepare them for successful completion of the end-point assessment (EPA). If learners require additional support in Maths and/or English, their coach can also provide this too.

There are three things I value about working with Raise the Bar; one, I’ve been able to trust them, two, they’ve been great listeners, they’ve listened to my needs and tailored solutions to deliver on the commitments I have made to my teams. Finally, they’ve been great partners, trusted partners all the way through my journey with Barclays over the past five years.

They’re really flexible, they’re always keen to learn about our organisation and are really adaptable, spending a lot of time making sure they deliver the best possible outcomes.

Experian
We partner with Raise the Bar to deliver our Leadership Programmes. They are a breath of fresh air, delivering what sometimes be dry and academic in a refreshing and dynamic way. By mixing theory with practical examples they bring the subject to life, presenting messages wich are perceived as both inspiring and relevant to delegates.
