The Course in Detail

Our People Professional Apprenticeship is ideal for HR Consultants, HR Business Partners, or HR Advisors and will empower you to offer HR expertise within your company or organisation. You’ll be able to use your HR expertise to lead the delivery of HR solutions to business challenges, together with providing tailored advice on a range of topics in a number of HR areas.

As an HR Consultant or Advisor, you’ll spend time understanding the business you work in to link your learning to business priorities and become a bridge between the company and people, helping all to reach their full potential.

Successful completion of this apprenticeship will enable you to become an Associate membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

During your apprenticeship you will develop the following professional behaviours, knowledge and skills that as a People Professional will enable you to:

  • Implement people strategies and equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) objectives for the business
  • Develop and implement annual people plans and projects
  • Make and present evidence-based decisions for people solutions
  • Provide advice, guidance, and training to the business on people related issues in line with business policies and employment law
  • Contribute to workforce design and succession planning, identifying future trends and issues across the organisation
  • Evaluate impact of people policies and procedures on the organisation, its culture, and its people
  • Lead people development such as talent management, coaching and mentoring arrangements, for your organisation
  • Support the improvement of the agility and productivity of workforces and organisations, to enable innovation and collaborative working using technology
  • Enable the three pillars of sustainability (Economy, Society and Environment) and social value

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.

Entry Requirements & Progression

What You'll Need

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 AND your employer may require you to have a Level 3 Human Resources qualification.

This Could Lead to

After successful completion of this Level 5 apprenticeship, you may consider progression to the Level 7 Senior People Professional Degree Apprenticeship or to a relevant post-graduate degree programme.

 

Assessment

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.
