The Team Leader Apprenticeship is accredited by ILM. Apprentices learn on-the-job, applying new skills to their existing role. This qualification is ideal for those who have management responsibilities but no formal training and are serious about developing their abilities. It is particularly suited to practising team leaders seeking to move up to the next level of management, and managers who need to lead people through organisational change, budget cuts or other pressures.
As part of their apprenticeship, apprentices will study the ILM Level 3 Diploma in Leadership and Management.
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.
What will I learn?
Apprentices will gain a range of key management skills, putting new skills into practice in their own role. They will build leadership capabilities, learning how to motivate and engage teams and manage relationships confidently. The ILM Level 3 Diploma in Leadership and Management includes a broad range of optional units so the qualification can be tailored to your organisation’s learning and development needs.
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 ILM Level 3 Diploma in Leadership and Management 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 organisation.
Apprentices must pass the end-point assessment in order to achieve the apprenticeship certificate. 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 Portfolio of Evidence.
Entry requirements
Individual employers will set the selection criteria for their apprentices though most will be expected to hold 5 GCSEs at grade 5 (C) or higher. Prior experience may also be considered. Apprentices should also have achieved qualifications in English and mathematics at a minimum of level 2 or equivalent. Where this is not the case, apprentices must complete these by the end of the apprenticeship.
Progression
Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, there is an opportunity to study ILM courses at level 4 and up to level 7.
80% of Mindful Education Online and On Campus learners complete their qualification with a merit or distinction.
