People Professional Apprenticeship – CIPD Level 5 (Online and On Campus)

Level 3 - Advanced

People Professional Apprenticeship - CIPD Level 5 (Online and On Campus)

This apprenticeship will help you gain a deeper understanding of the professional behaviours that lead to organisational success. Learn how to manage relationships, foster talent, guide strategic planning and reward performance.

This qualification is perfect for Human Resources (HR) professionals who enjoy developing and managing people. You will expand your knowledge of HR with a combination of core units and specialist areas – helping you focus on what matters most to you.

Apprentices will study the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management, which is a mid-level qualification for a career in HR. 

This flexible apprenticeship is delivered in partnership with Mindful Education, and combines online learning with regular sessions with a college tutor, referred to as Online and On Campus.

Start dates are available throughout the year.

The duration of the apprenticeship is 15 months, which includes 12 weeks for the End Point Assessment.

 

Study method – Online and On Campus

We have partnered with Mindful Education to deliver this apprenticeship through our Online and On Campus model. Apprentices study online materials during allotted time at work, and also attend regular sessions with a college tutor.

Online lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile, tablet or desktop - meaning apprentices can fit their study around work commitments, minimising disruption in the workplace. Each lesson lasts around 45 minutes and is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to enhance the learning experience further.

On campus, apprentices benefit from regular classes with an experienced college tutor, either in-person or virtually. A combination of tutor-led work, group exercises and discussion encourages apprentices to apply theory to real-life workplace situations.

This modern, flexible approach to apprenticeship training empowers learners, minimises disruption to employers, and delivers tangible results in the workplace.
