About this course
Our Level 3 Learning and Development Apprenticeship provides learners with the skills and knowledge needed to train others in the workplace and to support development of employees.
It focuses on the planning, delivery and evaluation of training methods and resources and provides the knowledge and skills that will lead to innovative and engaging learning for individuals and groups.
This programme is for candidates who train and support others in their workplace
and are looking to develop their skills and knowledge so they can provide high quality learning and development.
A typical candidate will have responsibilities for the development of individuals
and/or groups within the workplace. This might be as a trainer, a mentor or a
manager.
The individual may be working as part of a delivery team or organising learning in a variety of settings. The qualification is inclusive and therefore suitable for a wide range of work contexts.
