Operations managers are the driving force behind the efficiency and success of an organisation. At A S Training, our Operations Manager Apprenticeship equips future leaders with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to manage teams, drive strategic objectives, and ensure seamless business operations across a variety of industries.

Found in organisations of all sizes and sectors, operations managers play a critical role in overseeing day-to-day functions, managing resources, and delivering results. With both leadership and project responsibilities, they provide direction, support, and clear guidance to their teams, ensuring that business goals are met while maintaining compliance with regulations and company policies. They are responsible for developing and implementing operational plans, managing projects, and fostering collaboration across departments, including finance, HR, IT, legal, sales, and marketing.
