Apprenticeship Detail
An Apprenticeship provides work-based, on the job training and development. The training is fully funded so it does not cost you anything and you will earn whilst you learn. They provide you with the skills, knowledge and behaviours you need to be fully effective in a designated role. Therefore, with very few exceptions, you do not need to have related work experience/ qualifications to apply.
Whats important throughout the Apprenticeship is that you put into practice what you learn, and capture evidence of this so your progress and increasing capability can be assessed.
We want you to get the most out of your Apprenticeship. To help you manage your learning well give you over the duration of the Apprenticeship, a minimum of 20% of your paid working hours to focus on skills development. This means you wont be asked to study in your own time. However, both the role and the Apprenticeship are very demanding and youll need to work hard.
You will be assessed throughout and at the end of your Apprenticeship by submitting coursework and End-point assessment.
There is plenty of support and youll be part of a larger apprentice community and where possible well get you involved in apprenticeship related activities, so youll get to know people outside of your own team or Department.
