WHAT IS A DEGREE APPRENTICESHIP?

• Degree apprentices are employed for at

least 30 hours a week and combine work with part-time study at University.

• A fully-integrated Masters (L7) degree,

involving both academic learning, professional development and work-based competence development and assessment.

• Independent end-point assessment to

confirm occupational competence.

CONTRACT OF SERVICE The apprentice must have a contract of service with you which is long enough for them to complete the apprenticeship successfully (including the end-point assessment) – four years for the Architect apprenticeship. WAGES The cost of the apprentice’s wages must be met by the employer. This should be a minimum of £12,000 per year, or the National Living Wage if aged over 25. JOB ROLE The apprentice must have a job role(s) with you that provides the opportunity for them to gain the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to achieve their apprenticeship. The apprentice must have appropriate support and supervision on the job, by you, to carry out their job role. OFF-THE-JOB Your apprentices must be able to use 20% of their time on ‘off-the-job’ learning.
