Use your Levy to develop your people with our Excelling in Team Leadership, Operational Management and Professional Coaching Programmes
Our leadership, management and coaching development programmes are a great way to grow your existing and aspiring leaders and managers. We facilitate the learning of skills tools and high performance in an ever-changing landscape
Our programmes are professionally recognised and to top it off, can be fully funded using the Apprenticeship Levy.
We stick to what we do best! We have been inspiring people with high quality, leadership & management learning and development for over 15 years. We focus on providing the best learner experience and tangible performance improvements for your business and your people.
Our programmes are contextualised to your business to ensure the content is always relevant, authentic and provides your people with a more meaningful experience that will keep them engaged. The time we spend to understand your organisation means we delivers exactly what your business requires of its leaders and managers. Our curriculum fully maps out the learner’s ‘off the job’ requirement aligning activities to their day-to-day activity, responsibilities and in-work projects, continually embedding the learning as they work through the programme.
We have created a wealth of bespoke and innovative learning resources – including webinars, podcasts, videos and curated learning content – producing a more holistic learning experience. We are unique in that we are able to leverage our access to the best thought leaders in leadership & management whose insights and experiences are harnessed within the development and delivery of our programmes.
We have partnered with Bud to provide our learners with an engaging, innovative learning platform to keep them motivated throughout their programme journey. Learners can access activities, resources, contact their coach and upload their work and evidence from their smartphone, tablet or computer. The easy-to-use interface clearly guides the learners through their programme and gives line managers access to live data, allowing less excuses for incomplete tasks!
All of our programmes are supported by our hugely popular interactive workshops, delivered by our experienced consultants. A lead consultant will deliver for the learners at the beginning, middle and end of the programme to provide a further layer of continuous support whilst the addition of further subject matter experts adds a different perspective and keeps learners engaged.
All of our programmes can be delivered entirely online, reducing the time out of the business for your valued leaders and managers. We can also offer face to face delivery where this is possible. Our innovative learning platform – Bud, gives learners instant access to their learning programme from their laptop, tablet or phone. We even have options of in-company cohorts or open programmes – we are flexible to suit you.
Every learner has a Leadership & Management Coach to support them through their programme journey. We recruit only the best coaches, highly qualified with industry experience so they can truly relate to the learner’s role. We allocate lower caseloads to allow time for regular 121’s with all learners and additional support where required.
Our amazing team are there to guide you through the whole journey. From bespoke engagement support to attract the right people, regular support calls, thorough reports to provide you with all the information you need and ongoing 121s for learners to ensure they are fully engaged and well prepared for end point assessment.
We’re also able to support neurodiverse learners on their journey and will work with them and their line managers to ensure we put the relevant support, tools and resources in place for them to succeed. We recognise that every learner requires something different and we have a well trained team and neurodivergent lead to support them throughout their programme.
Our end point assessment pass rate of 96% speaks for itself! We work hard to support learners all the way up to their last assessment, embedding EPA preparation throughout their journey and continuously updating our EPA supporting resources.
For aspiring professionals taking their first step into line management, or those with some experience of managing a team or project.

What better way to understand what it’s like to embark on one of our development programmes, than to hear directly from our learners!
I learned so much during my apprenticeship, the knowledge and skills developed were, and are, so valuable and really improved so many areas in the role I performed at the time. I also grew confidence in my approach to leadership, being able to back this up with the science behind it and refer to models, methods and techniques, knowing they were tried and tested, and being able to utilise these as part of my toolbox to support specific situations has been invaluable!
I recommend anyone wanting to grow their leadership skills to look into this apprenticeship.
Melissa Okine, Programme Learner
Since starting the course, my biggest achievement has been the ability to lead through change, whilst raising the profile of my team across the business. It’s been heart-warming to see increased recognition of insights and analytics through our people, and I’m excited to see where the team goes this year.
Amy Higgins, Programme Learner
I recently began my journey of learning and growth when I started my Women in Leadership apprenticeship qualification with Raise the Bar. The programme aims to inspire, motivate and empower current and future women to achieve their leadership potential, and I felt all of that from my very first session!
Mel Delaney, Programme Learner
Our delegates attended training and completed assignments to support their learning in areas such as management of self, problem solving, decision making, managing and leading people and operations and project management, as well as their day-to-day roles and responsibilities.
Andy Jones, Chief People Officer
It’s never too late to study, and having access to an apprenticeship my work has really helped me achieve something I thought I’d missed.
Richard Davies, Programme Learner
Having an organisation so well structured and tailored towards coaching was extremely important. We are really happy with Raise the Bar – as an organisation we’re all about coaching and nurturing versus training, so that was one of the key reasons for choosing them. We will definitely use Raise the Bar again for our people development.
Zoe Dyson, Tuition Operations Manager
The programme has been extremely valuable for me personally. It taught me some great tools to combat some of my biggest challenges, such as time management. I have also learnt a great deal about myself and have been able to self-reflect on a lot of my behaviours.
Kerry Stavileci, Programme Learner
I’ve been able to use many of the skills and behaviours learnt from the programme, including maintaining team performance and having challenging conversations which I would have shied away from in the past. I’ve also been able to manage projects and organise workload in line with people’s strengths, weaknesses and characters. I’ve been able to coach several team members so that they can deputise for me during periods of annual leave. I’ve also been able to motivate my team and maintain performance.
Claire Wessier, Programme Learner
Everything I have learned from the programme has been beneficial to my role, time management, decision making, leading/managing people and managing myself has had a huge impact on my attitude and the way I present myself to my team and lead them.
Jack Broome, Programme Learner
The skills, knowledge and behaviours that I have learnt this far on the programme have been instantly transferable to my role and I have already noticed a change in my approach when managing my team. I have found it fascinating that I am unknowingly already using some techniques daily and it is a great moment when you can put a name to a method I am already familiar with.
