At Arden University we are very aware of the need for education and training that really supports what employers require and really addresses gaps in workforce knowledge or development. We are a fast paced, innovative university and being privately owned we can be flexible and adaptable in ways that other higher education institutions cannot. We are particularly conscious of the needs for social care organisations to be able to enhance the professional perception of colleagues and enable committed and ambitious staff to progress.
It has been an exciting time this summer as we have continued to develop new routes into higher education:
In February 2023 we are launching our Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE) Level 4 in Health and Care Management. This is on campus in the first instance (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds) and offers a completely accessible opportunity to enter higher education, no matter what your previous education or work background. You can study entry level modules and earn credits to then pursue Level 5 and Level 6/degree level study in future.
We have now launched our first apprenticeship programmes. We now offer a full route and fast track route Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship, 100% remote and accessible, which awards successful graduates with
– BSc (Hons) Health and Care Management degree, that meets (and exceeds) the Level 5 diploma for Skills for Care/CQC Registered Manager requirements
– Chartered Management Institute Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management
– NHS Mary Seacole Level 5 Leadership Award
– Chartered Manager status
– Level 6/Degree Apprenticeship success status
For those more experienced and long standing managers, we have also introduced a Senior Leader Level 7 Apprenticeship with MBA in Care, specifically contextualised to integrated care systems and supporting leadership in all areas of health and care management and a Senior Leader Level 7 Apprenticeship with NHS Rosalind Franklin Level 7 Leadership Award, so whether you want to complete a Master’s project to get an MBA or would rather stick to only taught study at postgraduate level, we have an option for you. These programmes award you with:
– Senior Leader Level 7 apprenticeship
– Chartered Management Institute Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice
– Chartered Manager status
– an MBA Master’s qualification or NHS Rosalind Franklin Level 7 Leadership Award
