Learning and Development Consultant Apprenticeship

Developing the next generation of Learning and Development Consultants

Designed for aspiring and experienced Learning and Development professionals, this Level 5 apprenticeship develops the advanced skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to shape learning strategies and support organisational performance. Apprentices will learn how to coach others, align learning initiatives with business objectives, deliver against key performance indicators and ensure learning and development practices are effectively implemented across an organisation.

Combining strategic learning with practical workplace experience, the programme equips apprentices with the skills needed to support talent development, organisational growth and a culture of continuous learning. Upon completion, learners will be well equipped to progress into Learning and Development Partner or consultant roles. Those wishing to continue their professional development can also progress onto a Level 7 qualification with our sister company, MOL.
