Level 7 System Thinking Practitioner Apprenticeship

The programme is delivered over 30 months combining highly interactive virtual workshops, progressive work-based assessments and improvement projects, individual tutoring and mentoring. It will be delivered by some of the world’s leading experts in systems theory and practice. The course delivery runs on a six-week cycle with 3 days of workshops, either face to face, online or available as recordings. There are three strands to the delivery:

  1. Systems approaches – which are about how to understand, diagnose, design or develop systems, whether work systems, social systems or economic systems.
  2. Intervention skills – which are needed to work effectively within an organisational context when you are using the systems approaches
  3. Learning sets to support and check on the learning process and develop the behaviours.

Module assessments also serve to build up a portfolio of evidence for the End Point Assessment.
