Apprentices will study the CMI Level 3 Diploma in Principles of Management and Leadership. The apprenticeship is suitable for those who are, or wish to become, team leaders and/or supervisors. This includes individuals who are at the start of their career that wish to become team leaders/ supervisors as well as those aspiring or existing managers who may already have developed practical experience but who wish to develop their theoretical understanding of management skills further.
This flexible apprenticeship is delivered in partnership with colleges and training providers across the UK and combines online learning with face-to-face lessons in the classroom, referred to as Online and On Campus.
Using Mindful Education’s blended learning approach, the typical duration of this apprenticeship is 15 months, which includes 12 weeks for the End Point Assessment.

The apprenticeship covers a wide range of business management skills and knowledge, including organisational performance, interpersonal skills and personal effectiveness.
Study method
This apprenticeship is delivered through our flexible Online and On Campus blended learning model.
Online lessons can be accessed at any time, using a mobile, tablet or desktop – meaning apprentices can fit their study around work commitments, minimising disruption in the workplace. Each lesson lasts around 45 minutes and is accompanied by animations and motion graphics to bring concepts to life. Exercises, interactive case studies and analytical tools help to enhance the learning experience further.
On campus, apprentices benefit from regular classes with an experienced college tutor, either in-person or virtually. A combination of tutor-led work, group exercises and discussion encourages apprentices to apply theory to real-life workplace situations. This modern, flexible approach to apprenticeship training empowers learners, minimises disruption to employers, and delivers tangible results in the workplace.

How will I be assessed?
Assessment for the CMI Level 3 Diploma in Principles of Management and Leadership is via practical work-based assignments provided by the college. This ensures you minimise time away from work and that you undertake work study which is relevant to your own organisation’s context. The end-point assessment for the Team Leader/ Supervisor Apprenticeship involves a review of the apprentice’s portfolio of evidence which is collated during their work/study time; an externally set knowledge test; and an interview/competency-based discussion relating to the apprentice’s Continual Professional Development Log. Apprentices must pass the end-point assessment to achieve the apprenticeship certificate.
