Who is the course for?

If you oversee someone at work or lead a small team of people then this apprenticeship is right for you. Nearly all jobs mean you will be working with others and to ensure that teams work together towards the same goal, there is often a team leader in place.

If you are organised and enjoy taking the lead in situations then this may be the right qualification for you. Team leaders often have more responsibility than others but are also paid a higher salary. Good team leaders can progress into more senior management posts and it is a good starting point to develop your career.
