Individual employers will determine the entry criteria, but this will typically include:

- GCSEs grade C/4 or above in maths & English.

- Recent experience in a team leader or similar role

- Other relevant qualifications or experience.

You have to be aged 16 years or over and must be working in the Digital sector for at least 30 hours a week.

You also need to be a resident in England and not in full-time education.

Candidates who have not achieved maths, English and ICT skills at Level 2 (equivalent to GCSE Grade C/4 or above) prior to commencing their training, will need to achieve this before taking their end-point assessment.

Successful teams are how great companies are built, and behind every successful team is an effective team leader. They help to foster a positive work culture, and that results in a happy workforce producing great results for a company that thrives. Team leaders do a little bit of everything, so organisation and planning are crucial to the role.

Roles/Occupations may include:

• Supervisor

• Team Leader

• Project Officer

• Shift Supervisor

• Foreperson

• Shift Manager

Responsibility is the first thing to expect in a Team Leader role: you’ll have your own tasks to complete, but you’ll also have a team to manage, so it’s a fine balancing act. On a daily basis, you’ll be focusing on:

• Supporting, managing and developing team members

• Managing projects

• Planning and monitoring workloads and resources

• Delivering operational plans

• Resolving problems

• Building relationships internally and externally

To achieve final certification, the apprentice must pass their End-Point Assessment (EPA).

A pass in the EPA will demonstrate that the Apprentice can apply the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the standard.
