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

  • Hi Nicola, I currently have just completed my CIPD Level 3 but work as an Account Manager in the Apprenticeships team in a college. From my experience employers do look at apprenticeships where CIPD is included within the apprenticeship standard. It is more work for the apprentice but is considered a bonus if they have completed it. They can also map the CIPD against the skills, knowledge and behaviours.
