This exciting programme is perfect for shaping future leaders in the fast-paced world of retail. Through on-the-job training in a supportive environment, you’ll be able to master the art of leading teams, develop strategies to meet and exceed sales targets, and promote a people-first approach. Modules focus on both business and people management, cultivating the skills you need to boost profits, minimise waste, champion team growth, and ensure customer satisfaction.

Retail managers champion the way for personal development, training and continuous improvement, encouraging their team to develop their own skills and abilities to enhance business performance and productivity.

If an apprentice is aged 16-18 and has not previously achieved the required level of English and maths, they will need to complete Functional Skills as part of their apprenticeship programme.

While Functional Skills are no longer mandatory for adult apprentices (19+), literacy and numeracy skills remain essential for success.

For those without prior English and Maths qualifications, we recommend level 1 maths and level 2 English to support career growth and workplace efficiency.

Our tailored support ensures these skills are seamlessly integrated into the apprenticeship journey, helping every apprentice develop these vital skills.

The End Point Assessment (EPA) for the Retail Manager Apprenticeship includes:

• Written Examination
• Retail Business Project
• Professional Discussion.
