Apprenticeships

Higher and degree apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are employment-based training programmes designed to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed for the workplace.

We can work with your organisation to shape training around your business needs, so you can minimise skills shortages and access new talent with a significantly reduced recruitment cost. 

Subcontracting rationale 

In line with the rules set out by the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) for apprenticeship funding we have published the University of Leeds rationale for subcontracting within apprenticeship programmes (PDF).

Apprenticeship provider and assessment register

In addition to delivering apprenticeship training, the University is also an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO). For a number of integrated degree apprenticeships, we deliver both the training and the final assessment to confirm the apprentice’s occupational competency.
