Course Overview

This HR Support Apprenticeship programme is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the business environment and HR's pivotal role within it. Apprentices will learn about the organisational structure, products, services, and the sector in which the business operates. They will gain knowledge of HR legislation and policies specific to their sector, understand the organisation's HR policy framework, and acquire a solid grounding in the HR systems and processes used within the company.
