Programme Description

The Learning & Development Practitioner programme, developed in partnership with employers, meets the growing need for effective training and support in today’s workplace. This programme gives learners the skills to create, deliver, and evaluate engaging learning experiences that help people grow and perform at their best.

Learners will build a strong foundation of practical knowledge, including how to assess learning needs, design training sessions, and deliver effective feedback. As they work towards their End Point Assessment (EPA) with CIPD, they will show how they can develop and support others through a variety of learning activities.

Long term, the programme sets up learners to make a positive impact by becoming adaptable L&D practitioners who can respond to changing business needs, promote continuous learning, and help teams thrive. By the end of the course, learners will be ready to make a difference, helping others develop their skills and achieve success.

Due to the nature of this programme it is delivered entirely remote and as part of a cohort. Cohorts for this programme are released bi-monthly. Learners in a cohort will also be given individual time with a tutor whilst on programme.

Learners will meet with their tutor once a month for the knowledge-based part of the programme. Between sessions, assignments will be set and completed through our online platform, Smart Assessor. Every 12 weeks a progress review will take place, which line manager should attend, to discuss progress on programme.

Learners must be able to commit to the programme, have the support of your employer and your job role must align with the programme requirements to demonstrate the competencies needed to pass the End Point Assessment.

Employers enrolling learners can set their own entry criteria but to be eligible for funding learners must:

  • Have been a UK resident for 3+ years or be part of an EU Settlement Scheme, spending at least 50% of time working in England.
  • Hold a contract of employment.
  • Not be enrolled in another government funded programme.

After the learning phase is completed, the learner, employer, and Intec will meet to determine if you are ready to proceed to the End Point Assessment (EPA). The EPA, conducted by an external End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO), will evaluate whether you have demonstrated the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviours to meet the required standards. Learners can achieve a Pass or Distinction based on their performance.

The EPA has two parts:
