What is the course about?
If you are excited about a career in management, this apprenticeship could be the ideal first step.
A team leader or supervisor is a first-line management role, which includes operational or project responsibilities as well as managing a team.
You can work in the private, public, or charity sectors, and in organisations of all sizes. While specific duties may vary, the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required remain consistent across roles.
Your key responsibilities are likely to include supporting, managing, and developing team members; managing projects; planning and monitoring workloads and resources; delivering operational plans; resolving problems; and building relationships both internally and externally.
Why should I choose the course?
You should choose this apprenticeship if you are looking to gain the essential skills and knowledge needed to become an effective team leader. You will learn how to support, manage, and develop your team members, oversee projects, and plan and monitor workloads and resources. In addition, you will gain the ability to deliver operational plans, solve problems, and build strong working relationships, all key elements for success in a leadership role.
What will I learn?
This in-depth apprenticeship covers the full breadth and depth of the standard, using suggested on-programme assessment methods. These assessments integrate the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours.
They are designed to ensure you are well prepared to complete a work-based project and progress to the End Point Assessment (EPA).
The core knowledge, skills, and behaviours included in the standard are interpersonal excellence, organisational performance, delivering results, personal effectiveness (managing self), leading and managing people, building relationships, project management, finance, and operational management.
How is the apprenticeship delivered?
On-programme learning will require you to achieve the Institute for Leadership and Management (ILM) Level 3 Diploma for Managers
Knowledge:Â
The knowledge component will be delivered in a series of one-day workshops. This component can be delivered at the college or in the workplace, and will be tailored to your organisation. You will be required to complete online assignment or knowledge tests to confirm your understanding of the topic.  Â
Competence:Â
Our aim is to create an individual learning plan to suit both the apprentice’s and your employer's needs. The plan will include observations, assignments, professional discussions, product evidence, and witness statements.
You will be required to undertake initial assessments for English and maths if you do not hold a Grade C/4 or relevant equivalent qualification. Achievement in both English and maths is required as part of the on-programme learning, to enable successful completion of the apprenticeship.
What will the course lead on to?
Upon completion, you may choose to register as an associate member with the Chartered Management Institute and/or the Institute of Leadership & Management, to support your professional career development and progression.
You may wish to progress onto a level 5 qualification in operations/departmental management.
After successfully completing this course and enhancing your skills and knowledge, there may be opportunities for progression or promotion within your current job role.
What support is available?
You will be allocated a designated tutor to guide you through your apprenticeship. We have a team of staff dedicated to providing learning support if required, as well as a Wellbeing Team that is on hand to offer guidance, support and help when needed.

You must have a minimum of one level 2 functional skills qualification in English or maths and be willing to complete functional skills in the other subject alongside your apprenticeship. This must be achieved prior to taking the EPA. An assessment will be required to establish your level.
You must also line manage at least two team members in your job role.
