- • Employment relationship management
- • Talent management and workforce planning

A mixture of on and off the job training provides a variety of learning opportunities across the whole programme.
For the taught qualification in college, there are no examinations, but there are assignments (one per module). Every assignment must be passed to successfully complete the qualification. All assignments are work-related, but the format may vary, for example from a report to a presentation; the module tutor will give explicit assignment guidance. The course does require independent reading and research to support your studies; all unit assignments must be passed to achieve the full qualification and apprenticeship.
