About the apprenticeship
Duration: 12 months. 20% of their time ‘off the job’ to complete their apprenticeship
Qualifications: Where a Team Leader Supervisor has not already achieved grade 4 (C) or above in English and Maths, they must do so before taking the end-point assessment.
Experience: Hands-on experience and learning gained from real life situations, with the guidance of industry professionals who ensure that young children are kept healthy and safe whilst they continue to learn and develop.
Skills: Working in the private, public or third sector and in all sizes of organisation, specific responsibilities will vary, but the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed will be the same whatever the role.
Apprenticeship Funding:
Co-Investment
Your apprenticeship is 95% funded through the Education Skills Funding Agency meaning there is only a small contribution towards the apprentices training costs.
Levy Contributions:
If your organisation has a wage bill in excess of £3m then your apprenticeship training is 100% funded through Levy contributions you have already been making. This will probably mean you already have the funds to cover an apprentice’s on programme training.
Team Leader Supervisor Co-Investment – £225
You will be required to pay a co-investment of 5% of the total training costs.
Who is eligible?
Ages: All ages are eligible to become an apprentice.
Working hours: *Minimum 30 hours / week contract (to meet minimum apprenticeship duration) *If no, the Apprentice must work more than 16 hours per week. The length of the apprenticeship will be adjusted accordingly.
Prior Learning Requirements: There are no prior learning requirements. Apprentices may need to complete English and Maths functional skills during their apprenticeship, depending on their prior qualifications.
Wage expectations
New apprentice who is 16 – 18 years old: Minimum apprenticeship wage until they turn 19.
New apprentice 19 years old or over: Minimum apprenticeship wage for the first 12 months.
Upskilling existing staff: Minimum wage in-line with their age.
Any apprentice can be paid more than the minimum requirement. This is your choice as an organisation or their existing rate of pay.
End Point Assessment

What do our customers say?
“The team leader apprenticeship has allowed me the ability to take a step up in my career. I am able to take on larger and more important tasks as a team leader. I can work more closely with the department manager within tasks that need to be completed. This has been a great opportunity to see if I would like to have the ambition to be a manager in the future”
