Employers set their own selection criteria, but most apprentices are expected to hold five GCSEs at grade 5 (C) or above. You’ll also need Level 2 qualifications in English and Maths, or be willing to complete them during the apprenticeship. Prior experience may be considered.
Apprentices study through a blend of online and on-campus learning. Online lessons are flexible and engaging, while regular tutor-led sessions provide support and opportunities to apply theory to practice. Assessment includes a consultative project and professional discussion, alongside unit-based CIPD assessments.
On successful completion, you can progress to CIPD Associate Level 5 qualifications. Career options include roles such as HR Advisor, HR Officer, Recruiter, HR Coordinator, and Training Coordinator. You’ll also gain Foundation Membership of the CIPD, a globally recognised badge of professionalism.
We work with a range of large and small employers that support apprentices throughout their journey.
You’ll complete four mandatory units: Business, Culture and Change in Context; Core Behaviours for People Professionals; and Essentials of People Practice. These units provide a strong foundation for working effectively in HR and supporting organisational success.
