The People Professional apprenticeship is integrated, combining the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management, with the People Professional apprenticeship standard. The CIPD qualification is completed alongside the apprenticeship, and learners will delve into generalist and specialist areas of people practice, from both an operational standpoint, whilst also exploring the strategic side.

The typical duration on programme will be 22 months, as well as a 3-month end point assessment (EPA period), where learners will be required to complete the 5CO03 (integrated) CIPD unit, as well as take part in a professional discussion and deliver a presentation to an assessor from the CIPD, who are our nominated end point assessment organisation.
