can be funded through the apprenticeship scheme?

The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is not directly funded by the UK Apprenticeship Levy in its standard online format. Apprenticeship funding requires a formal apprenticeship agreement with an employer, involving on-the-job training and a minimum 20% off-the-job learning time, which pure online distance learning typically does not satisfy without specific employer-structured delivery. However, some employers may use their levy funds to pay for the tuition fees as part of a broader professional development budget if they structure the learning as part of a wider strategic leadership programme. Always confirm with your employer’s L&D team and the specific training provider, as funding eligibility depends on how the course is delivered and contracted.
