CIPP's involvement in apprenticeships
In addition, we are working with Loughborough University to deliver the MSc in Strategic Leadership, which can be funded through the apprenticeship levy.

Finding a training provider to deliver apprenticeships
A full list of all apprenticeship standards (and their development) can be found on the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education website. Once you have selected the standard you require, you are also able to search for a training provider to deliver this for you.
