Detailed information on programme changes would be sent to pre-enrolled students and their employers prior to confirming their place on the apprenticeship.
The Nursing Associate Higher Apprenticeship programme broadens the routes into working in healthcare and helps both new and existing healthcare employees take the next step in their career by developing their skills, knowledge and experience.
The Nursing Associate standard is mapped against the Nursing and Midwifery Council Standards for Nursing Associates (2018), and results in successful apprentices achieving an FdSc qualification.
The course runs for 27 months. Apprentices attend the University for one day a week and combine classroom study with their job role. Apprentices also complete 675 hours of contrasting placements over the course of the apprenticeship. On completion of the foundation degree, apprentices are entered for the End Point Assessment.
Year 1
Year 2
On successful completion of the modules above and the required work-based practice in the apprentice's usual and a contrasting setting, the apprentice will be entered for the End Point Assessment.
The End Point Assessment will be conducted by an independent organisation agreed by the employer and the University. The End Point Assessment comprises two professional discussions based on two scenarios to assess skills, knowledge and behaviours.
