10 Purpose of this framework Summary of the purpose of the framework Management & Leadership skills have a major impact on the development, productivity and performance of organisations of all sizes and across all sectors of the economy. Many British leaders and managers are innovative, creative, visionary and inspirational and are heavily relied upon to sustain the UK as one of the world s leading economies. In today s fast-moving competitive environment there is a need to continue to drive up the performance of the best and to address weaknesses in Management & Leadership that are holding back productivity and performance. The average amount of spend per manager per year for development in the UK is far lower than other European countries, particularly within small to medium sized businesses, where fewer staff have management qualifications than in equivalent sized European countries. The existing workforce needs to be up skilled and new people attracted into these jobs to meet the increasing demand for new management practices and a range of skills, including: leadership skills, including self management, relationship building, negotiation and influencing skills communication and decision making skills information technology skills knowledge and project management skills coaching and mentoring skills skills to win and maintain customer loyalty change management skills such as the ability to manage the challenges of globalisation; and partnership working and the ability to implement innovative solutions to a range of problems As the workforce and the customer base become more diverse, management needs to reflect that diversity and manage it effectively. This requires not only sensitivity to issues such as ethnicity, culture, gender and disability, but a greater awareness of the potential for different and more creative approaches that diversity in general brings. There is a strong demand for Management skills in Wales, with 169,500 managers and senior officials currently employed. (Statistics for Wales, June 2010). Reflecting this high level of demand, the Team Leading & Management Apprenticeship programmes have seen a steady increase in learners since their initial development and the Apprenticeship is in the top ten frameworks in Wales in terms of learner numbers.

11 The Apprenticeship programme has been designed to provide flexible and portable qualifications, units and skills sets which meet the current and future needs of employers of all sizes and across all sectors. The Team Leading Foundation Apprenticeship has been developed to support those working as team leaders, section leaders, floor managers, help desk managers, trainee supervisors, team co-ordinators and those working in a range of other team leader positions. The Management Apprenticeship has been developed to support those working as first line managers, section managers, assistant managers, trainee managers, senior supervisors, junior non-commissioned officers (armed forces) and those working in a range of other management positions. The Leadership & Management Higher Apprenticeship has been developed to support those working as managers, senior managers, head of department, directors and those working in a range of other senior management positions. Tasks undertaken by apprentices will vary depending on the level and sector in which they are employed. Tasks may include planning, allocating and monitoring the work of the team, giving feedback, briefing teams, supporting team members, managing conflict, resolving problems, procuring supplies, project management, agreeing budgets and managing and improving customer service. The framework has been updated to meet the changing skills needs of employers and to meet the requirements of the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for Wales. It will also contribute to meeting the skills priorities for Wales by: providing flexible access to a high quality Level 2 and 3 skills programme, as a real alternative to academic qualifications, for those who prefer this style of learning and achievement; incorporating skills to improve the levels of general literacy, numeracy and ICT in Wales; using technical and competence qualifications, d by employers, to help their businesses grow; developing apprentice s employability skills, making them more attractive to all employers whichever career they choose; providing a career pathway into jobs and training at intermediate and higher level, to provide the skills which the economy needs to grow; building on the existing quality learning provision for Management in Wales. Aims and objectives of this framework (Wales) To provide employers of all sizes and across all sectors in Wales with a high quality, nationally recognised programme which will attract new talent into management and up skill the existing

12 workforce to make businesses more productive, efficient and profitable. The main objectives are to: Build a competent management workforce, providing organisations of all sizes, across all sectors in Wales with the staff needed to increase productivity and efficiency. Tap into the skills and talents of a diverse population by providing flexible entry routes into a career in management. Equip individuals with the skills, knowledge and experience needed to undertake team leading and management roles in a range of business settings. Provide apprentices with an opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and experience they will need to progress to higher level roles with additional responsibilities and onto further and higher education, if they wish to do so.

13 Entry conditions for this framework There are no mandatory entry requirements for this Apprenticeship framework. However employers are looking to attract apprentices who have a strong interest in a career in management. They expect applicants to demonstrate a "can do" attitude and have basic numeracy, literacy and communication skills on which the will build. Entrants will come from a diverse range of backgrounds and will come with a range of experiences, age, personal achievements and, in some cases, prior qualifications and awards which may count towards the achievement of an Apprenticeship programme. Examples include learners who have: held a position of responsibility at school or college undertaken work experience or a work placement completed the Duke of Edinburgh Award or similar award achieved QCF Awards, Certificates or Diplomas completed a level 2 Foundation Apprenticeship from another sector (for Level 3 Apprenticeship applicants) achieved a Welsh Baccalaureate Principal Learning Qualification, all of which have underpinning Management & Leadership themes achieved GCSEs or A levels completed other Intermediate Apprenticeships from a wide range of sectors. Apprentices who are undertaking the Management Level 3 Apprenticeship are likely to have some prior experience in a managerial or team leader role, although this is not a formal requirement. Apprentices who are undertaking the Higher Apprenticeship in Leadership & Management are expected to have significant experience of working at a middle management level to ensure they have the suitable foundations on which to further build their knowledge and skills. RULES TO AVOID REPEATING QUALIFICATIONS Refer to the on and off the job training section for guidance about prior attainment and achievement. In the meantime, this is a short summary: Processes exist to make sure that applicants with prior knowledge, qualifications and experience are not disadvantaged by having to repeat learning. Training providers and awarding organisations will be able to advise on the current rules for accrediting prior learning and recognising prior experience. 1. Essential Skills Wales.

14 If applicants already have GCSEs in English, Maths and/or Information and Communications Technology (ICT) they still have to do the Essential Skills Wales at the relevant level as these are new qualifications and proxies do not exist. Up to the 31 August 2011, if applicants already have achieved Key Skills at the relevant level, they will not have to do the relevant Essential Skills Wales as these count as proxies for Essential Skills Wales. 2. Knowledge qualifications. If applicants already have one of the Level 2 knowledge qualifications before they started their Apprenticeship, (see knowledge qualifications page in this framework) they can count this and do not have to redo the qualification, providing that they have achieved this qualification within 5 years of applying for the Apprenticeship certificate. For example, they may have already achieved the knowledge element as part of the Welsh Baccalaureate. The hours they spent gaining this qualification will also count towards the minimum hours required for this framework. 3. Competence qualifications. If applicants already have the Level 2 competence qualification for the Apprenticeship they do not have to repeat this qualification, however, this qualification must have been achieved within 5 years of the start of the Apprenticeship and they will still have to demonstrate competence in the workplace. 4. Prior experience. Applicants already working in the sector will be able to have their prior experience recognised by the Awarding Organisation and this will count towards the competence and the knowledge qualifications in this framework. Initial Assessment Training providers and employers will use initial assessment to ensure that applicants have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their ability and to tailor programmes to meet individual needs, recognising prior qualifications and experience.

K1 - K8 provides the underpinning knowledge and understanding for qualifications C1a - C1q and C2a - C2d. The NVQ Diploma in Management uses the same units as the NVQ Certificate in Management, but requires learners to achieve more credits. The Diploma may be more suited to learners who want to increase their breadth of competence based learning. The different knowledge based qualifications available all have slightly different emphasis and breadth of knowledge, although all qualifications will provide learners with the required underpinning knowledge and understanding to successfully demonstrate competence. The selection of the competence and knowledge qualification is a decision to be made by employers and the apprentice, based on the individual learner's job role. Learners are free to undertake the competence qualification with one awarding organisation and the knowledge qualification with another awarding organisation if they wish to do so. Please note that the ILM Level 3 Certificate in Effective Management (600/6049/9) is a replacement for the current Level 3 Certificate in Effective Management (500/8192/5) and the Level 3 Certificate in Leadership is a (600/5788/9) replacement for the current Level 3 Certificate in Leadership (500/3581/2).
