Nursing Apprenticeship

Please note: The Register Your Interest form is not an application. Completing it does not submit an application. To apply, you must have confirmation of an employment offer in an apprentice role related to the apprenticeship standard. Any applications submitted without this confirmation will be automatically rejected. If you meet the entry requirements, you are welcome to submit an application via our portal. Nursing is a rewarding career where you have a real chance to make a difference in people's lives. As part of your training, you can expect to learn new skills and procedures that help patients everywhere. There are many reasons why you should consider a career as a nurse. It offers you the chance to make a difference from day one, a high degree of flexibility and a career with excellent employment prospects. Some people choose to take nursing degree apprenticeships as an alternative to traditional degree courses. Nursing degree apprenticeships are, like all apprenticeships, employer-led. The employer releases the apprentice to study at an approved educational institution and in a range of practice settings so apprentices can get the full range of skills and knowledge required to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Apprentices will need to achieve the same high standards that the NMC expect from students who take the traditional degree course before they can join their register. The Apprenticeship Programme has been developed to ensure that student nurses are prepared to successfully meet the standards of proficiency for registered nurses (NMC 2018) and the occupation standards for the Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship (NMC 2018)(IATE, 2021) at the point of registration. We have multiple intakes a year. Please see the table below for further details: ACCREDITATION OF PRIOR LEARNING (APL) Some students may have previous relevant learning, including formal certified learning such as an access course or another degree, or practice-based learning that was part of another course or gained through paid or voluntary work. Evidence of this learning may contribute to meeting some programme requirements, assessed through LSBU’s own APL process. Up to 50 percent of the programme can be accredited in this way. Nursing Associates are encouraged to apply via APL. Those who have gained FdSc Nursing Associate at LSBU will be able to APL their qualification and start on year 3 of the programme, which means they could complete the RNDA in as little as 18 months. Same qualifications from other universities will also be considered on an individual basis.
