The portfolio in numbers

Of the 12 standards Bedfordshire can deliver, 10 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 2 are Level 7 (master's level). 10 lead to an integrated degree, where the degree is part of the apprenticeship itself rather than a separate qualification alongside it.

The portfolio leans towards Health and science (6 standards), followed by Business and administration (2) — a larger spread than 64% of the 104 universities on the provider register.

Typical durations run from 9 to 48 months, and funding bands (the training cost the employer's levy covers — apprentices pay no tuition) range from £9,000 to £27,000.

8 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including British Computer Society, The NMC approves institutions that can provide midwife education and sets standards for programmes that lead to registration as a midwife in the UK. Only practitioners registered with the statutory regulator, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), can use the legally protected title of Midwife. All midwifery apprenticeship programmes must meet the Nursing and Midwifery (2019) Standards for pre-registration midwifery programmes and the Standards of proficiency. In respect of the skills to be met within the apprenticeship programmes, these must align to Domain 6 of NMC (2019) Standards of Proficiency., The Royal College of Occupational therapists, Nursing and Midwifery Council / Minimum Level 6, Chartered Management Institute and The Institute of Leadership, and 7 courses lead to a regulated profession.
