Essential information

This is a four-year course, delivered over 48 months. A blended learning approach will be adopted to enable attendance for off the job learning to be restricted to one-day per week with four days spent with the employer undertaking on the job training.

All apprenticeships in England are required to include an End-point Assessment (EPA) to test that apprentices have demonstrated all the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for full occupational competence as specified in the nationally approved Apprenticeship Standard. As this is an Integrated Apprenticeship, Leeds Beckett University will also be the end-point assessment organisation.

Minimum 112 UCAS points, or equivalent. GCSE English Language, Maths and Science at Grade C or above.

Applicants who have not attained these will have the opportunity to complete the necessary qualifications alongside their apprenticeship, as it will form part of the apprenticeship assessment requirements. Previous employment experience will be considered for recognition of prior learning.

Information for employers

Employer benefits

The Degree Apprenticeship in Environmental Health allows employers to meet their succession planning needs with all the cost paid by the Apprenticeship Levy. It provides a fast and effective route to career progression for new and existing staff culminating in the CIEH Accredited BSc (Hons) Environmental Health Degree Apprenticeship. Leeds Beckett University will support employers to devise and manage the work-based element of the apprenticeship.

Employer requirements

  • Every apprenticeship must have an Apprenticeship Agreement. This is a contract of service between the apprentice and the employer, confirming the apprenticeship and the standard being undertaken. This will be supplemented by a ‘Statement of Commitment’ signed by the employer, provider, and apprentice, setting out the expectations, roles and responsibility of each party involved in the apprenticeship
  • The apprentice must be already employed or specifically offered a position associated with the apprenticeship opportunity. In this case the employer will be responsible for the recruitment of Degree Apprentices. However, we can work with you to promote your opportunities via our website
  • The employer pays Degree Apprentices at their normal rate whilst they are studying. Apprentices must be paid at least a minimum wage appropriate to their age and job role
  • Apprentices require a mentor in the workplace who will oversee their learning and coordinate with the university
  • Apprentices spend a minimum of 20% of their working hours completing study for the course

Funding

Organisations with a wage bill in excess of £3 million can fund the course fees using their Apprenticeship Levy.

If you are a non-levy paying organisation the government will co-fund your apprenticeship training by contributing 95% of the costs and you will pay the remaining 5% of costs.

For further information on apprenticeship funding visit the Government website.
