    Higher and degree apprenticeships

SDN works with Universities and other Higher Education Institutions across the country to help them launch, grow and improve their Higher and Degree Apprenticeships provision.

We do this through consultancy, training for staff and the development of resources.

We can help you

  • Understand how the apprenticeship market works and develop a clear strategy
  • Set up robust systems and processes for compliance, funding and quality
  • Design curriculum and training materials
  • Prepare faculties / schools and staff for delivery
  • Improve the quality of teaching, learning and preparation for end-point assessment
  • Establish yourself as an End-Point Assessment Organisation
  • Establish an effective internal apprenticeship programme, as a levy-payer
This was by far the best support I have received – SDN were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Although there is a great deal to get my head around, SDN made it all seem achievable.

A very good workshop, good pace of delivery and inclusive

Tarmac

A very informative webinar. It was good to bring in different spokespeople who had the experience and advice, and even a reality check on the hurdles and obstacles. Definitely feel more informed than before joining.

IKEA Ltd

Very informative session. Thank you. Best session on T-levels that I have attended.

Tarmac

It was a really valuable session and I would recommend it to other employers.
