Apprenticeship Courses

Our ethos is to put learning to work in the context of your organisation and we have been doing that in all our programmes for the last 25 years. Now we bring that expertise to our apprenticeships.

• DPG is the UK’s only HR, Learning and Development and Leadership and Management provider to offer Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and Institute of Leadership and Management qualifications as part of our apprenticeships
• We offer more than 25 years’ of Leadership and Management, HR and Learning and Development qualifications, having successfully trained more than 30,000 learners and have qualified over 14,000 apprenticeships
• We offer individual, graduate and national apprenticeships throughout the UK
• Expert subject matter expert facilitators and 1-2-1 Training Development Officers support apprentices at every point of their learning journey

Your apprentices are guaranteed the highest quality learning experience on one of our programmes, and each will also benefit from a range of exclusive advantages:

• Our unique Business Consultancy is a business simulation to help each apprentice apply learning and develop their skills and behaviours. It provides real life learning in a safe environment. This learning approach meets the 20% off the job learning requirement of the apprenticeship in a cost-effective way and ensures that you know when each apprentice is ready for their End Assessment.
• E-learning resources which are accessed via a Learning Management System called Enable-2, provided through our partner Virtual College (eLearning Provider of the Year 2015/2016). This web-enabled learning provides you with learning progress reports so you can monitor individual progress.
• An electronic Portfolio of Evidence, performance monitoring and support for assessments. Our dedicated training and development officers meet with you and the apprentice each month to discuss progress and review the programme and the support you require.
• Your apprentices will have the option to join the DPG community giving them lifetime, free access to our award-winning, social media based platform. They’ll be able to network and build expertise in their chosen field alongside current practitioners.

We can deliver apprenticeships in a way that best suits your organisation.

1. Corporate delivery of apprenticeship standards –  If you are looking to develop six or more employees then we can provide a bespoke, tailor-made apprenticeship programme at a location and venue of your choice.
2. Open Apprenticeship Programmes

If you only have one or two apprenticeships, then we run open programmes across the UK starting at various times throughout the year. We have new dates being confirmed all the time, so please contact us for further information.

Through long-standing partnerships with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and Institute of Leadership and Management, we can help you plan your organisational strategy for apprenticeships, so you meet the Apprenticeship Levy funding requirements. We offer a mix of learning methods, designed to revolve around the work place, all approved by awarding bodies to meet the apprenticeship standards. Our expert advisors will help you with any training needs analysis and develop a programme that works around your needs.
