STAR® Manager partners with Qdos Training to supercharge UK management capability through apprenticeships

New apprenticeships partnership set to create ‘managers of the future’

Qdos Training Ltd and Notion, the performance improvement consultancy behind the multi-award-winning management transformation programme STAR® Manager, have been working together to launch management and leadership apprenticeships. These will be the first in the UK to fully embed the STAR Manager programme and management approach into selected Level 3 and 5 management and leadership apprenticeships.

The new apprenticeships will offer a richer learning journey by integrating Notion’s STAR® Manager online development programme into the already successful apprenticeships, enabling learners to develop their management knowledge and cultivate through practice a modern set of management and leadership behaviours.

Speaking of the partnership, Notion’s Chief Operating Officer, Laura Ashley-Timms, said: “We’ve always wanted to partner with a quality apprenticeship provider because we see apprenticeships as a powerful way of unlocking untapped talent and potential within organisations of all types. Qdos Training is an exceptional provider and has a very impressive programme completion rate.

Deborah Johnson, engagement director at Qdos Training, says of the partnership:

“We share Notion’s absolute passion to create the managers of the future. Most of us are ‘accidental managers’, and may not have ever been shown how to manage people let alone learned how to communicate in a way that invites the highest levels of collaboration in the workplace. STAR® Manager is a unique approach that enables our apprentices to put into practice the people management and leadership theories they’re learning. The programme enables them to be more than just managers and instead become brilliant people leaders.”
