The Level 3 Service Leader programme is designed for colleagues who want to become confident, inspiring leaders on the shop floor. It's ideal for those who are passionate about creating exceptional customer experiences and developing others to deliver the very best service every day.
This programme goes beyond customer service. You'll build the leadership skills needed to coach and support your team, influence positive behaviours and create a culture where colleagues feel motivated to perform at their best. By leading through example, you'll help deliver an outstanding shopping experience that keeps customers coming back.

"From my experience of completing my apprenticeship I am proudly able to say that it has helped contribute towards a promotion within my role. The apprenticeship offers great development for each individual who participates in the apprenticeships. It has allowed me to expand my knowledge of the retail sector and help me to solve situations that I wasn’t able to solve previously. Each skill learned and developed has helped me on a daily basis which gives me the confidence to know that the apprenticeships are beneficial!"
