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 teaching of theory, e.g. lectures, seminars, tutorial, on-campus learning, on-line learning
• Practical training, shadowing, mentoring, industry visits, lab experiments,
• Learning support and time spent writing assessments/assignments.

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. These will also be reviewed at meetings between yourself, and your workplace mentor.

If you do not achieve a BSc (Hons) Construction Management Apprenticeship award you may exit with the academic award of:

• Diploma of Higher Education in Construction Management

To successfully complete a Construction Site Management Degree Apprenticeship, there is an academic requirement for a BSc (Hons) programme to be achieved.  Therefore, if you exit at a lower academic level, you will not be able to complete the End Point Assessment and apply for your degree apprenticeship certificate through your employer.
