Nearly every employer that takes on an apprentice (96%) reports benefits to their business and as part of a Northeastern University London apprenticeship every apprentice will learn from colleagues and achieve competence through their day-to-day activities. Every apprentice must also spend at least 6 hours of their typical working week on off-the-job learning, acquiring the additional skills.

Each course is assessed by a range of activities aligned to industry norms. The content, and consequently the learning outcomes and methods of assessment, vary between courses. Where possible, assessments will be undertaken in the workplace.

Our programme, built with an employer group, ensures that apprentices are productive at work as soon as possible, getting involved in activity at work to embed the knowledge, skills, experience, and behaviours learned.

We deliver off-the-job learning for our apprenticeships in flexible programmes based on each individual’s prior knowledge, skills, and experience. We offer learning through block sessions, online courses, assignments, and project work. Our expertise is in modular, stackable learning. This flexible approach is part of our programme design and delivery DNA.

In addition to tailored on and off the job learning, our apprenticeships further focus on personal development. Our curriculum extends beyond academic, technical, and vocational learning, providing opportunities for apprentices to broaden their development, discover talents and interests, and further enhance their basic skills, including maths and English. Our apprenticeships have a culture of safeguarding our learners and preparing individuals for life in modern Britain.
