To book this apprenticeship
End Point Assessment
Full-time Apprentices will typically spend 12 - 18 months on-programme (prior to Gateway) working towards the occupational standard, with a minimum of 20% off-the-job training evidenced throughout the programme. All Apprentices must spend a minimum of 12 months on-programme.
The EPA period should only start, and the EPA be arranged, once the employer is satisfied that the Apprentice is deemed to be consistently working at or above the level set out in the occupational standard and all of the pre-requisite Gateway requirements for EPA have been met and can be evidenced to an EPAO. For Level 3 Apprenticeships and above Apprentices without English and mathematics at level 2 must achieve this prior to taking their EPA.
Entry Requirements
A thorough assessment of prior learning against the occupational standard (aligned with the KSBs) will be made to assess suitability as well as consideration of other relevant information. However, Apprentices must be employed in a suitable role with the operational / project responsibilities and / or responsibility for managing a team so they are in a position to meet the assessment demands of the qualification, which are work based and reflective in nature.
Qualifications
Apprentices are also given the opportunity to undertake the ILM Level 3 qualification (Level 3 Diploma for Managers) which provides full coverage of the ‘on programme’ element of the Team Leader / Supervisor Apprenticeship Standard. The ILM Level 3 qualification uses the assessment methods which are utilised as part of the End-Point Assessment (EPA) of the Level 3 Team Leader / Supervisor Assessment Plan in order to enable learners to prepare for the EPA. The qualification may also be delivered independent of an Apprenticeship.
Career / Progression
On completion, Apprentices may choose to register as Associate members with the Chartered Management Institute and / or the Institute of Leadership and Management, to support their professional career development and progression.
