Become a qualified professional while learning on the job
If you’re changing careers, entering a new field or looking to level up in your current job, then completing an apprenticeship is a great way to get hands-on experience while working towards recognised qualification.
When you complete an apprenticeship with Reed Learning, you’ll spend 80% of your time working for an employer and the other 20% being taught by experts in their fields. Even better, you’ll be paid a salary for the duration of your apprenticeship.
We’ll support you throughout your apprenticeship offering you support, guidance and coaching to make sure you’re on the right track towards the career you want.
Speak to one of our advisers about other apprenticeships we offer.
Apprenticeships are available to anyone aged 16 or over and living in England, regardless of level or experience.
The apprenticeship is paid by your employer, so there is no cost to you.
Entry requirements are set by employers and may include relevant experience or a relevant qualification. You must be working in a role that is relevant to the apprenticeship you are completing
There are some rules about levels but generally the answer is yes, provided the content is different to the previous apprenticeship and it can be clearly demonstrated that the knowledge, skills and behaviours included in the apprenticeship are directly relevant to your job role and future career progression.
The duration of the apprenticeship will depend on the level, as each programme is different. See information on each of the apprenticeship standards for the durations.
For some apprenticeships standards studying a qualification is a mandatory part of the programme. This is the case for the Level 5 HR Consultant/Partner where you will complete the CIPD Associate Diploma in People Management during the apprenticeship programme.
For the Level 3 L&D Practitioner, Level 3 HR Support and Level 5 L&D Consultant Partner apprenticeship programmes a qualification isn’t mandatory. However, we understand that some employers and individuals would choose to complete a qualification as part of the apprenticeship, and this is an option that can be discussed.
Yes, as long as it is in an unrelated subject.
Those without English and maths (Level 2 or GCSE Grade A-C or 4 and above) will be required to complete Functional Skills Level 2 qualifications with our training partner, Runway Training. Your functional skills journey will start at the beginning of the apprenticeship.
