What to expect from a CIPD HR Apprenticeship L&D Apprenticeship

How your HR Apprenticeship will be assessed

To achieve the CIPD Certificate in Human Resources you will have to complete six written assignments. At Level 3 there will also be practical elements of the assessments. For example, running interviews or coaching sessions.

You will develop one of the written assignments into a longer work based project. You will then take part in a professional discussion to demonstrate that you have met the learning objectives for the programme. This is called the End Point Assessment (EPA).

Who is a HR Apprenticeship for?

For organisations with a wage bill of over £3 million a year, you will pay into the apprenticeship levy.

To make the most of this investment apprenticeships can work to:

Enhance the skills of your existing staff
Employ new talent
Maximise your return on investment

If your company doesn’t pay into the apprenticeship levy, the government will still fund 95% of the cost of the apprenticeship.
