Frequently Asked Questions

Degree Apprenticeships combine working with part-time study. Apprentices are employed throughout the programme and spend part of their time at university and the rest with their Employer.

Apprenticeships can last from 2 to 5 years depending on the level of the Apprenticeship.

It allows you to earn as you learn, all while taking on no personal debt for school fees. Your education is paid for by ESFA, your employer, the university and/or the Levy.

You will earn at least the National Minimum Wage rate.

A crucial part of any apprenticeship entails allocating ample time for the learning of new knowledge, skills and behaviours. Currently, this is no less than 6 hours per week throughout the apprenticeship programme’s duration. However, higher-level apprenticeships are very intense and require a large amount of study so may take more.

Your Off The Job (OTJ) training might include face-to-face delivery (e.g. lectures/ training sessions), role-playing/simulation exercises, distance/online learning, 1:1 coaching, shadowing and mentoring, industry visits/manufacturer training, participation in competitions, assignments and projects or supported study days.

Yes, the End Point Assessment (EPA) is the final stage of an Apprenticeship. It is an impartial assessment of whether or not you have developed the skills, knowledge and behaviours outlined in the apprenticeship standard.

You should always talk to your programme leader, tutors or employer first. However, Bolton Students’ Union has an independent Advice Unit based within the Students’ Union Office. The Advice Unit offers free, impartial and confidential advice to all University of Bolton students on academic issues, money concerns, problems with accommodation and more. To arrange a chat, email info@boltonsu.com.

Yes, existing staff with job roles that match the target Apprenticeship standard can undertake an Apprenticeship programme. If you would like more information on how to talk to your employer about this, contact our team at apprentices@bolton.ac.uk.
