Level 3 HR Support - Apprentice standards

Nicola Butler

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

  • The government cut the funding and for the Level 3 Apprenticeship the CIPD qualification is an optional extra. The apprenticeship standard covers off the same content really as the qualification so personally I would accept it - however I know the details of the apprenticeship in detail but I wouldn't rely on most employers doing so. If you can find a provider that will do the qualification as well, I think it's worth it.
