- Professional behaviours and valuing people
- Employment relationship management
- Talent management and workforce planning
- Reward for performance and contribution

Attendance Expectations
Once enrolled onto this apprenticeship, you will be required to attend remotely taught sessions for the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management.
You are also required to meet regularly with your apprenticeship assessor (either remotely or in your place of work) for reviews on progress and workplace assessments to take place.
If you are undertaking Functional Skills as part of your apprenticeship, you will be required to attend Castleford College for a week block of teaching, per Functional Skill subject. This will be discussed at your enrolment and induction.

How You Will Be Assessed
The knowledge element of the apprenticeship is continuously assessed with no end examination. Successful completion of all assignments and class-based work will result in the award of the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management.
In addition to this, your apprenticeship assessor will also carry out regular 1-2-1 assessments such as observations, Q&A’s and professional discussions either remotely or in your workplace at mutually convenient times. These assessments will provide evidence of you demonstrating the knowledge, skills and behaviours using practical working examples required to meet the Level 5 HR Consultant/Partner apprenticeship standards.
To achieve the apprenticeship in full, you must firstly achieve your CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management, then complete an End Point Assessment made up of two components; a 5,000-word consultative project and a professional discussion, both of which demonstrate you meeting the apprenticeship standards within your role. Your End Point Assessment is assessed by the CIPD.

Entry Requirements
It is expected that Level 5 apprentices will have significant experience of working within a current HR role that is progressing into a more senior HR Consultant/Business Partner role to ensure they have the suitable foundations on which to further build their knowledge and skills.
Certificate evidence of English and Maths at Level 2 or GCSE Grade 9 - 4. If you do not have these, we can support the development of your English and Maths skills through completion of Functional Skills in the relevant subject and one-to-one support. Most employers look for ability in these areas and the majority of university courses require you to have English and Maths GCSEs at Grade 9 - 4. This is why the development of English and Maths is so important, whatever your field of study.
