#164 – Sales Frequency: Troubling news for leadership apprenticeships

This week on The Sales Transformation podcast we have another episode of Sales Frequency for you. That’s because this week’s topic was particularly close to our hearts: the recently announced change in funding rules for Level 7 apprenticeships.

From January 2026 apprenticeship funding for all Level 7 programmes will no longer be available to anyone over the age of 21. This includes Consalia’s Level 7 sales apprenticeship.

Jesus, Will, and Phil discuss the impact this is going to have on both individual sales leaders and organisations looking to upskill their management teams.

Highlights include:

[04:36] – People need different skills training at different stages of their careers
[14:05] – What are now going to be the alternatives for sales leadership training?
[24:52] – There are benefits to choosing a programme without the restrictions associated with apprenticeship funding
