Do you want to embark on a rewarding career in HR and people practice? Or perhaps you’re new in your HR role and wish to develop your skills further?
HR Professionals typically work in medium to large organisations as part of the HR function delivering front line support to managers and employees, or are a HR Manager in a small organisation. Their work is likely to include handling day to day queries and providing HR advice, working on a range of HR processes (ranging from transactional to relatively complex), from recruitment through to retirement, using HR systems to keep records, providing relevant HR information to the business and working with the business on HR changes.
Successful completion of this apprenticeship will lead to eligibility to apply for Associate membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
This apprenticeship standard covers the core skills, knowledge and behaviours to demonstrate competency of a HR Support role and covers key requirements to include:
You will develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours through on and off-the-job training and are expected to attend College for pre-arranged masterclasses.
You will need to have relevant employment, and entry is subject to interview and assessment.
GCSE English and maths grade 4/C or above (or Level 2 functional skills) are preferred.
After successful completion of this Level 3 apprenticeship, and dependant on your job role, you may have the opportunity to upskill to the Level 5 HR Consultant & Partner Apprenticeship.
Your progress will be continuously monitored and supported by a Professional Trainer.
Depending on the standard, we assess your competence through various methods, such as practical exams, assignments, interviews, project work, presentations or observations and we will also evaluate your portfolio of evidence, which documents your learning and progress throughout your apprenticeship with us.
The apprenticeship end-point assessment is the final evaluation stage of your apprenticeship programme. It's designed to determine whether you have achieved the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to meet the apprenticeship standard and perform the job role independently.
Successful completion of the end-point assessment is required to receive certification.
College is not just about your course – it’s an opportunity to have fun, meet new people and explore your interests! You can socialise with friends in the café and comfy seating areas, join a club or sports team or attend exciting events around the college. Many of our enrichment opportunities are also great on your CV or UCAS application to demonstrate your commitment and enthusiasm outside of your studies.
Your time at college can also be affected by life or health difficulties, and it’s okay to need support. Our specialist teams are here every day to listen and give advice, whether it’s about career planning, financial support, mental health, or something else. And if you have a long-term support need or medical condition, we’ll work with you on personalised learning support to help you achieve your full potential.
