University of Chester is registered on the government's apprenticeship provider register to deliver 5 of the 172 approved Level 6 and 7 apprenticeship standards (3% of the degree-level catalogue), spanning Business and administration, Care services, Health and science and Protective services.
Registration means the university may deliver the standard — actual vacancies depend on employer partnerships each cycle. Check the university's apprenticeship pages for live programmes.
The portfolio in numbers
Of the 5 standards Chester can deliver, 4 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 1 is Level 7 (master's level). 4 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 (2 standards), followed by Business and administration (1) — a larger spread than 27% of the 104 universities on the provider register.
Typical durations run from 36 to 48 months, and funding bands (the training cost the employer's levy covers — apprentices pay no tuition) range from £12,000 to £27,000.
3 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including College of Policing, Nursing and Midwifery Council / Minimum Level 6 and Social Work England, and 3 courses lead to a regulated profession.
