It is important you recognise the relationship between your academic programme and your degree apprenticeship as they are linked together as a degree apprenticeship is a qualification which combines both academic and off and on the job training.  This is a mixture of on and off the job training.

The University and your employer will plan your 20% off-the-job training so that you can complete all the KSBs for your end point assessment.  The 20% off-the-job training includes:

• The teaching of theory (for example, lectures, role playing, simulation exercises, online learning, and manufacturer training);
• Practical training, shadowing, mentoring, industry visits, and attendance at competitions.
• Learning support and time spent writing assessments/assignments.

You will be able to use your time at the University towards your 20% off-the-job training.
