Best Practice Network: Leader Apprenticeships with NPQs

This suite of three qualifications pairs the leadership NPQs with apprenticeship standards to create a levy-funded dual award, helping all schools to access funded leadership training. 

Best Practice Network is delighted to offer Leader Programmes which include either the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL), National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) or the National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership (NPQEL) as part of Levy-funded apprenticeships.
