As an approved CIPD centre, we’ll supply the CIPD qualification and provide Realise with feedback on any assessments your apprentices complete. Our CIPD courses are delivered Live Online or face to face in the Classroom, which makes it easy for students to fit their 20% ‘off-the-job’ training requirement around work.
We deliver our HR and L&D apprenticeships in partnership with Realise, one of the largest training organisations in England.
As an Ofsted rated Good provider, they provide top-class skills, education and employment services to more than 7,000 learners and thousands of employers across a host of sectors.
They specialise in delivering apprenticeships and adult learning programmes for some of the largest employers in the UK, and have a proven track record over 30 years.
They’re loved by apprentices too! They were ranked as the #2 training provider in the UK in 2021-2022 on RateMyApprenticeship.
It’s important that your job role gives you the opportunities to apply what you’re learning through the apprenticeship. The level of the apprenticeship also needs to be suitably challenging and show that you’re developing throughout the programme.
You will receive two qualifications within the programme:
Spending 20% of your work hours on off-the-job training is a core requirement of all apprenticeship programmes. It reflects your organisation's commitment to your learning, developing and honing of new skills within your role. You will log your development time each month to check you’re on track.
As part of your induction to the programme you will take an online initial assessment which will provide a profile of your strengths and weaknesses in English & Maths. These will feed into your Individual Learning Plan (ILP).
If you don’t have copies of your GCSE certificates (A*-C) or haven't achieved a pass (or equivalent qualification), we will support you to complete Functional Skills Level 2 in English and or Maths.
During the programme you will complete the following assessments:
An Apprentice will be awarded a fail, pass or distinction. We want you to pass and will support you throughout the assessment process. However, if an apprentice does fail, they are entitled to one resit.
On successful completion of your CIPD qualification you will receive both a CIPD and Apprenticeship Certificate in recognition of the double qualification.
Organisations with an annual salary bill of £3+ million will pay into the apprenticeship levy. These funds can be used to pay for your apprenticeship.
If your company doesn’t pay into the apprenticeship levy, the government will still fund 95% of the cost of the apprenticeship.
