Level 3 HR Support - Apprentice standards

Hi

We've recently recruited an HR Apprentice with the intention of them completing the above qualification funded by our Levy. At the time of offer, the training provider was also going to provide the CIPD level 3 certificate in HR Support. They've since advised that they'll no longer offer the CIPD Cert, just the Level 3 standard. I believe many of the Apprentice providers are doing the same.

I don't want this to have a negative impact on our Apprentice's future career in HR. As an employer, would you accept this as an alternative? Does anyone know if this will be accepted should he want to go on to complete the level 5 CIPD qualification in the future? 

Thanks

  • I would think it would depend on whether completion of the apprenticeship standard leads to CIPD accreditation or not? If it does, then I would expect it to be accepted as an alternative.

    Edit: Just checked, and the following is taken from the description of the apprenticeship standard: Apprentices who complete this apprenticeship will be eligible to apply for associate membership of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
