This apprenticeship standard develops the skills that individuals need to perform effectively in a first-line management role, with operational and project responsibilities or responsibility for managing a team to deliver a clearly defined outcome. The apprentice becomes competent in providing direction, instructions and guidance to achieve set goals. Team leaders work in the private, public or third sector, in different industries and different-sized organisations. Whilst specific responsibilities will vary according to the organisation, the generic team leader skills needed will be the same.
