Advance your recruitment career with expert training in end-to-end talent acquisition and client management.
Course Information
The Level 3 Recruiter Apprenticeship offers comprehensive training for aspiring recruitment professionals. It equips learners with the skills and knowledge to succeed in a fast-paced recruitment environment. The programme covers candidate sourcing, relationship management, recruitment strategies, client engagement, market analysis, legal and ethical requirements, and digital recruitment tools. Apprentices gain a full understanding of recruitment from candidate attraction to hiring.
On completion, apprentices can manage the entire recruitment process — from identifying client needs and sourcing candidates to interviewing, assessing, and onboarding. They’ll also build strong client relationships and work independently to deliver results. Recruiters play a key role in attracting and retaining talent, with a focus on diversity and inclusion.

Be aged 16 or over
Not be in full-time education
Live in the UK or EEA, and have been continuously for the past 3 years
Have the right to work in the UK
Have a relevant job role where the learning can be applied

Final entry criteria may vary depending on the employer’s discretion

Assessment
To achieve the qualification, which can be awarded as Pass, Distinction or Fail, you will be assessed throughout the apprenticeship and in the final stages through an assessment.
The Apprenticeship Assessment process begins once the employer confirms that the apprentice consistently meets or exceeds the standards set out in the occupational standard. Before starting the assessment, the employer must verify that the apprentice:
Has agreed with their Apprenticeship Assessment organisation and employer on their dissertation title, rationale, and scope
Has submitted a portfolio of evidence
Has consistently worked at a high occupational standard
The Apprenticeship Assessment typically takes around three months and includes the following components:
Dissertation & Presentation: Dissertation, presentation, and questioning
Professional Discussion Underpinned by Portfolio of Evidence: Professional discussion with a panel, based on the portfolio of evidence, demonstrating knowledge, skills, and behaviours across the standard
The final grade for the apprenticeship will be based on the combined results of these assessment components.
