You must be 18 years old and living in England. You must also have achieved Level 2 English and Maths, grades A to C. 

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 do not have copies of your GCSE certificates (A*-C) or have not 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: 

• CIPD-accredited assignments combining theory and application
• A continuous professional development (CPD) record
• One-hour professional discussion with a panel of experts including a 15-minute presentation
• A written work-based project on how you have applied the learning outcomes within your role

The minimum duration of the apprenticeship is 1 year, however, you should expect to take approximately 15 months to complete the programme.

All our training is delivered by a CIPD-approved expert, whether it be at our face-to-face London location or via our live online classrooms. 

Our tutors will support you between classes and provide individual written feedback on all assignments. You will also have an assessor who will check in monthly and complete workplace visits.

An Apprentice will be awarded a fail, pass or distinction. 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.

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 are on track.

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 does not pay into the apprenticeship levy, the government will still fund 95% of the cost of the apprenticeship.
