The Team Leader/Supervisor Apprenticeship is for someone who can take responsibility for managing a team or discrete project. They can support, manage and develop team members, manage projects, and plan and monitor workloads and resources. They can also take responsibility for delivering operational plans, resolving problems and building relationships.

This apprenticeship is applicable to professional team leaders, first line managers and supervisors from all sectors – the private, public or third sector – and all sizes of organisation.

Entry Requirements

The entry requirement for this apprenticeship will be decided by each employer. However, it may typically be five GCSEs at grade C (4/5) or higher. You will need to have the authority to contribute to a project and communicate operational plans with a minimum of two direct reports.

What will you learn?

Through formal learning and applied practice, depending on the business environment, areas covered include:

Using technology
Data collection and bench marking
Problem analysis and conclusions
Managing change

The content is sequenced into four themes:

Building relationships
Organisational strategy and performance
Managing change and continuous improvement
Contributing to a project and future plans

The four themes build on key skills such as team development, motivation and conflict, the business environment and the creation/implementation of organisational strategy. The knowledge, behaviour and skills developed over the duration of the four themes are encompassed in the final component requiring apprentices to contribute to a project.

How will you learn?

The apprenticeship will be delivered through a blended approach of face-to-face workshops, online tutorials and training at the apprentice’s place of work.

What will you need to bring with you?

You will need access to a laptop throughout the duration of the course.

How will you be assessed?

The Level 3 Team Leader/Supervisor Apprenticeship is assessed through an End Point Assessment (EPA), which consists of two main components:

Presentation with Questions and Answers: the apprentice delivers a presentation on a topic related to their role, followed by a Q&A session to demonstrate their understanding and ability to apply their knowledge
Professional Discussion: this is underpinned by a portfolio of evidence that the apprentice has compiled throughout their apprenticeship. The discussion focuses on the apprentice’s knowledge, skills and behaviours relevant to the role

The EPA is designed to confirm that the apprentice has met the required standards and is competent in their role as a team leader or supervisor.

Where next?

You could consider further study with an Apprenticeship in Operations Management or continue advancing your career within supervisory and management roles.
