Apprenticeships
Take a look at our detailed Apprenticeship Levy guide from the CIPP policy and research team.
Changes to apprenticeships and CIPP delivery of apprenticeships.
As the Chartered body for the payroll profession, we are pleased to announce that we are working with the below training providers, to provide the knowledge elements of the standard to enable their experienced teams to deliver the apprenticeship.
In the same reforms, endpoint assessment organisations (EPAO) were introduced. The EPAO for the Payroll administrator apprenticeship standard can be found on the Register of end-point assessment organisations (EPAO) page of GOV.UK.
