Project Manager
Degree Apprenticeship
The Project Manager Degree Apprenticeship gives learners the skills required to manage the end-to-end delivery of a project efficiently. They have responsibility for delivering a project in line with defined objectives, taking decisions to manage stakeholder expectations by leading a multi-skilled, cross-disciplinary team to deliver it to time, cost and quality requirements.
Funding
Maximum funding (the maximum amount government will fund for apprenticeship training): £22,000
Apprenticeships are funded either via your apprenticeship levy (if your organisation has an annual PAYE bill of over £3m) or via the Education and Skills Funding Agency (who provide 95-100% funding depending on the size of your business).
