Are you looking to be inspired to learn? A leadership apprenticeship at Cranfield involves learning from experienced industry experts, is highly practical and enables employees to excel in their job role. Don't take my word from it, read our latest Ofsted report. Ofsted has rated Cranfield's Apprenticeship provision as 'good'. This is a fantastic achievement and doesn't adequately capture the hard work that goes into making this happen. One of my favourite highlights from the report, "Teaching staff are highly experienced in the industries in which they teach. They use their experience to provide apprentices with a sound knowledge of the industries in which they work. As a result, apprentices gain substantial new knowledge and skills that help them to excel in job roles and prepare effectively for promoted posts at work. Apprentices state they are enthused and inspired to learn."
