The supervisor is the critical business link between the higher echelons of a business deciding strategy and the people employed to deliver that strategy. The supervisor requires a whole range of skills to achieve the goals of the business and meet the needs of the supervised staff. This course trains new or existing supervisors on those essential skills to be successful.

OVERVIEW

The Team Leader or Supervisor Level 3 apprenticeship standard covers managing a team, operations & projects to meet the organisation’s goals.

  • Typical responsibilities: Supporting, managing and developing team members, managing projects, planning and monitoring workloads and resources, delivering operational plans, resolving problems, and building relationships internally and externally.
  • Who: Supervisor, Team Leader, Project Officer, Foreperson, Shift Supervisor and Shift Manager.
  • Planned Duration: 12 months (typically 12 months). Apprenticeships must last a minimum of twelve months and involve at least 20% Off The Job (OTJ) training, e.g. Training courses, coaching, shadowing colleagues, mentor support, managing projects, reading, etc.
  • Max Funding: Your investment for this apprenticeship standard is normally £4,500 per apprentice, paid directly from your apprenticeship levy pot, or if you're a non-levy paying employer (or have insufficient funds in your apprenticeship levy account), the Government would co-invest 95%, hence your organisation would invest just £225 + VAT per apprentice.
  • Entry Requirements: Decided by each employer, e.g. Five GCSEs at Grade C or higher. Apprentices without level 2 English and Maths will need to achieve this prior to the End Point Assessment (EPA).
  • Progression: On completion apprentices can register as an associate member with the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) for £150 pa, with post-nominals AMInstLM, or an affiliate member with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) for £180 pa. The team leader or supervisor role may be a gateway to further career opportunities, such as more senior management roles, including the Operations & Departmental Manager Level 5 apprenticeship.
