Enrolment Instructions for Line Managers

Welcome to the Transformational Leadership Programme. 

Line Managers are critical stakeholders contributing to learners’ success on the programme. The Programme Handbook outlines your role in this learning journey and contains all the information you’ll need to support your learner during the programme.

To help your direct report prepare for enrolment, there are two steps for you to take.  

Step 1: Enrolment Meeting 

Both you and your direct report need to attend an Enrolment meeting, your direct report will liaise with you and their coach to schedule this meeting. 

Your direct report will attend the meeting from the start, and you will need to join around 30 minutes into the meeting. E.g., if the meeting starts at 10am, you will need to join at 10:30am. Your direct report will forward the enrolment meeting invite to you.  You will have an opportunity to ask any questions about your role and the programme in general.

 Signing the Apprenticeship compliance documents 

It's essential that you attend the enrolment meeting as you will need to sign two compliance documents; the Apprenticeship Agreement and the Training Plan. (Note - Your direct report won’t be able to start learning until both documents have been signed). 

• The Apprenticeship Agreement

• The Training Plan

Enrolment Meeting (Line Manager) Agenda

• Welcome and check you can log into Aptem (see Step 2 below),
• Book Gateway meeting 
• Knowledge, Skill and Behaviour form moderations 
• Programme standards, programme overview and learner/line manager commitment questions (please ensure you watch the video in your welcome email in readiness for this section)
• Compliance document signing 

Step 2: Create your Aptem Account    

To access and sign the compliance documents in the enrolment meeting, you’ll need to have set up an account on Aptem, our Learning Management System. You will shortly receive an email from email@aptem.co.uk with details on how to set up your account. If you don’t see the email in your inbox or spam folder, please speak to your IT team about adding the email address above to the ‘allow list’.   

For help with the registration/account creation process on Aptem, please refer to this short guide.

Setting up your account will only take a few minutes, and it enables you to sign the compliance documents to confirm the start of the programme and trigger the levy funding.  

Setting up your account before the meeting will save you time and prevent any delays in the meeting. Around 95% of line managers set up their accounts in advance of our meeting and find the process straightforward.   

Note: if you are already a Line Manager for other learners on the programme, you will have existing access to Aptem, so there is no need to register again.   

Please return to your inbox to locate the invitation to Aptem and set up your Aptem account. 

If you have any questions, please contact your direct reports enrolment coach (you will have received at least 1 email from them already).
