Implementing Your Apprenticeship Strategy

We have been in the Human Resources business for a very long time and have successfully supported countless HR practitioners through their CIPD learning journey. This knowledge and experience is used to maximum effect when collaborating with large organisations to deliver approved HR Apprenticeship schemes.

We work with cohorts of a minimum of ten people and can deliver to the full Apprenticeship standards not only to provide CIPD qualifications at levels 3 and 5 but also meeting the 20% off the job learning provision, functional skills, End Point Assessment (EPA) preparation and all of the ESFA government requirements in terms of monitoring and reporting. 

Your apprentices will benefit from the very best industry facilitators, a planned programme of workshops, 24/7 access to our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), e-portfolio and other quality online materials, a dedicated account manager, administration team, and rigorous monitoring from start to finish.

Your line managers will be offered a range of support including: an overview of the content of each unit, objective setting, coaching techniques, conducting progress reviews and how to deliver feedback. All units are mapped against the approved Apprenticeship Standards.

STAGE 3

Launch

Your custom tailored apprenticeship programme is now ready to go. Delivery will be scheduled and the rest as they say is history.

Apprenticeships can be tailored to your company’s needs particularly if you have enough numbers – we ask for a minimum of ten apprentices for our HR programmes. We can then focus on the policies, cultures and values of the organisation.  In this way they are similar to the best graduate training programmes.
