Some programmes create supervisors, others create improvers.
This programme creates leaders who can improve.
Developing leaders who don’t just manage change – they drive it.
Many organisations face the same challenge.
They promote talented individuals into first-line leadership roles because they understand the operation, know the team, and deliver results. Yet leadership today requires more than technical expertise alone.
Modern supervisors and team leaders are expected to motivate people, manage performance, solve problems, improve processes, and deliver measurable results.
To help employers develop these capabilities in one programme, Cidori is launching its new Improvement Technician with Team Leadership Level 3 Apprenticeship.
Delivered in partnership with Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ (Apprenticeships) Barnet Southgate College, this innovative programme combines two highly valued skillsets into a single development pathway: leadership and continuous improvement.
Building Better Leaders
Learners develop the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours required to lead people effectively, including:
- Leading and motivating teams
- Communication and stakeholder management
- Decision making
- Managing performance
- Professional self-awareness
- Maintaining standards and accountability
Alongside leadership development, learners gain the tools and techniques needed to identify and deliver operational improvements.
Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement
The programme incorporates the full Improvement Technician skillset, enabling learners to:
- Solve operational problems systematically
- Analyse performance data
- Manage improvement projects
- Improve processes and workflows
- Reduce waste and inefficiency
- Support continuous improvement initiatives
This combination ensures learners can not only manage teams effectively but also contribute directly to business performance.
Additional Leadership Development
Employers can further tailor development through a range of additional CPD modules delivered via the EQUAL learning platform.
Core modules include:
- Performance Management
- Conflict Management
Employers then select two additional leadership modules, with learners choosing one further area of focus from:
- Leading and Motivating a Team
- Decision Making
- Demonstrating Professionalism
- Discipline in the Workplace
- Communicating with Others
- Maintaining Work Standards
A Strong Platform for Progression
For learners, the programme provides an opportunity to build two highly sought-after skillsets simultaneously.
By combining leadership capability with improvement expertise, learners develop a strong foundation for future progression into senior supervisory, operational leadership, continuous improvement and management roles.
A Modern Qualification for Modern Organisations
Organisations need leaders who can do more than manage daily operations.
They need people who can engage teams, improve performance, solve problems and deliver meaningful change.
The Improvement Technician with Team Leadership Level 3 Apprenticeship has been designed to do exactly that.
