Apprentice timetables
Your apprentices will access their timetables through their Virtual Learning Environment, once they have enrolled.
Each unit and mode of assessment is supported by a specific skills session designed to help apprentices develop the skills required for completion of assessments.
2024/25 Timetables:
- Cohort 1 (started September 2023/24)
- Cohort 2 (started May 2023/24)
- Cohort 3 (starting September 2024/25)
Apprenticeship standard
The apprenticeship standard provides the building blocks for our Senior Leader Apprenticeship. It is the blueprint for the development of our apprentices across the duration of the course. The standard will be used regularly during reviews as a point of reference, and we recommend that you familiarise yourself with its contents.
End-point assessment (EPA) guidance
The EPA is an integral component of the course. The degree will be achieved upon successful completion of this assessment. The end-point assessment organisation for this programme is the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
EPA consists of:
- Method 1: Professional Discussion underpinned by Portfolio of Evidence (20 mins)
- Method 2 - Component 1: Project Proposal
- Method 2 - Component 2: Presentation (of proposal) with questioning (40 mins)
The CIPD will provide documentation and support in relation to EPA and this section will be updated nearer to the EPA period.
