Structure, certificates and assessment

The degree apprenticeship is a work-based learning qualification comprising off-the-job (20%) and on-the-job (80%) learning. These elements are integrated so that you can relate and apply your learning into practice with the workplace.

The 20% off-the-job learning includes:

The degree programme form part of the 20% “off the job” learning. You may also have in-house training courses and preparation for assessments and examinations that will also contribute towards the 20%.

The 80% ‘on-the-job’ learning activities would be designed with The University of Derby and your designated workplace mentor and will depend on your specific job role with your employer.

To facilitate designing of such activities, each module specification has a list of ‘indicative work-related tasks’ for your degree apprenticeship. These learning activities would be undertaken in your workplace to complement and inform the 20% off-the-job learning. Your workplace mentor will support and monitor these activities.
