Who is the programme for and what will be involved?
This Team Leader Apprenticeship standard has been designed for individuals who are team leaders, supervisors or first line managers Managers at this level are typically junior managers managing a small team and accountable to a middle manager
Learners will be assigned a qualified tutor to provide them with help and support delivered by a blended learning approach combining on and off-the-job training to ensure they develop the skills required for their role. Learners with support from their tutor, as needed, complete a range of online learning modules that develop their underpinning knowledge of a broad range of management tasks and concepts The learning from these topics is holistically assessed through the completion of a range of formal assessments that contribute to their portfolio of evidence and presentations. To achieve this, learners must have at least 6 hours of protected study time each week
In addition to developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to be a successful Team L eader, learners will, if 19 or over at the start of their apprenticeship, have the option of working towards Level 2 Functional Skills qualifications in English and maths Functional Skills are mandatory for apprentices aged 16-18 (unless they have GCSE equivalents at grades 9 - 4/A* - C in these subjects)
Learners will develop competence and confidence at work with a range of resources designed to allow access to online learning, videos, workshops and more.
End Point Assessment (EPA)
This programme is formally assessed by an independent end point assessor using two methods weighted equally at 50%
Portfolio of evidence underpinned by a professional discussion
During the apprenticeship, the learner will generate evidence of the knowledge, skills and behaviours gained which will be uploaded to an e-portfolio through our Aptem system The independent assessor will review the portfolio prior to the assessment and use professional discussion to assess the learner's competence and understanding.
Presentation With Questions And Answers
The End Point Assessment (EPA) requires the apprentice to prepare and deliver a presentation (followed by questions and answers) which is based on a topic set by CMI, as the EPAO postGateway. This topic will be based on the grading descriptor groups listed in the published assessment plan, must be from a selection published by CMI, as the EPAO, and must enable apprentices to demonstrate the relevant knowledge, skills and behaviours gained during their apprenticeship
