We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve expanded our End-Point Assessment (EPA) offering with the addition of two new Standards: the Level 5 Operations or Departmental Manager and the Level 5 Operations Manager.
One thing we pride ourselves on here at FuturU is really listening to what our partners need. The launch of these two new Standards is a direct response to the feedback we’ve received, and an exciting new chapter in our journey to support the development of leadership talent.
And by getting approval for both the Level 5 Operations or Departmental Manager and the Level 5 Operations Manager, we’re ensuring we’re ready for everyone! Whether your learners are just starting the newer Operations Manager apprenticeship, or completing the Operations or Departmental Manager pathway, we’ve got you covered.
These new Standards complement our existing Business and Leadership offering, and join our comprehensive suite of EPAs:
- Adult care worker (Level 2)
- Lead adult care worker (Level 3)
- Lead practitioner in adult care (Level 4)
- Leader in adult care (Level 5)
