Additional information

Upgrade to full CIPD diploma £1000.00

Option to take part in a 3-day residential event (an additional charge applies for accommodation which cannot be Government funded).

  • As stated on the Register of Apprentice Training Providers (RoATP) – CMT specialise in delivering a range of L&D and HR training qualifications and apprenticeships and have been an approved CIPD centre for over 20 years – all our Trainers have held senior positions in a range of organisations spanning the private, public and third sector.
  • CMT take a cohort based approach. The approach taken to delivering the workshops allow for Apprentices to get to see other environments outside of their instead of a set classroom location. Alongside this, cohorts will have a mix of organisations or departments within an organisation offering wider experiences outside of the apprentices on environment.
  • CMT can offer an equivalent level CIPD qualification and membership alongside the Apprentice qualification, further demonstrating individual professionalism and providing unparalleled access to relevant L&D and HR industry resources.
  • CMT will provide, as part of the Apprenticeship Programme, a 3-day optional off-site ‘residential’ experience ‘event’ specifically designed to develop the requisite ‘behaviours’ stated in the standards. This is unique to CMT and, whilst educational, will be both fun and engaging.
  • Paul Cadman and Emma Horne (both senior management of CMT) instigated and drove the development of the joint L&D/HR Trailblazer Employer Group, being instrumental in the creation of the two new Standards in L&D (being the first provider to start to deliver these) and completion of the two stalled HR standards, with CMT being the first in the country to deliver these and we are now entering the end point assessment for our first cohort.
  • In addition, our CEO Paul Cadman is on the Board of the Institute for Apprenticeships whilst chairing the IfA Quality Committee and Emma Horne is one of only 135 CIPD members from 135,000 to have been awarded the honour of ‘Companion’ status, so you would have to go a long way to find involvement by any training provider who is at the very heart of Apprenticeships in the UK.

Learner Reviews

“I have learnt so much about HR and it has opened my eyes to the other areas that I can work in in the future or other projects that I can get involved in. The practical sessions and progress review meetings are the most valuable and helpful to me in terms of my development and learning, though I did really enjoy the residential from a networking perspective.”
