What is a degree apprenticeship?

A Degree Apprenticeship is a way for an employee to combine work and higher-level learning to earn an undergraduate degree. At Liverpool Hope University, we are offering Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship courses, which will give employees the opportunity to obtain a full bachelors degree. The apprentice would remain in or begin full-time employment and study alongside their job.

What does standard mean?

A standard is the approved apprenticeship that you have chosen for your apprentices to enrol onto. Skills England oversee this process. You can view all the apprenticeships currently approved for delivery on Skills England website and select the standard that is right for your workplace. Each apprenticeship standard page will also outline all the knowledge, skills and behaviours that the apprentice will need the opportunity to practice via their studies, workplace and job role.

How is an apprenticeship structured?

The structure of an apprenticeship will vary dependent upon your chosen standard. Some typical methods of delivery are 1 day a week, block delivery or asynchronous module delivery followed by agreed protected time for a number of weeks. You can find further information of this on your desired course page.  However, typically an apprentice will have an agreed number of hours (see our off-the-job section) a week where they will be working towards the achievement of their standard. This time may involve attending the University, practicing new skills or writing assignments. 

Recruitment Support

If you are looking to address your skills gaps by growing your workforce, we can provide support with this process. From picking the right standard, advertising and interviewing our Apprenticeships Team can provide tailored support to help you navigate hiring an apprentice. Contact our team to discuss the benefits and the package that we can offer.
