The portfolio in numbers
Of the 16 standards Northumbria at Newcastle can deliver, 9 are Level 6 (bachelor's level) and 7 are Level 7 (master's level). 8 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 Construction and the built environment (4) — a larger spread than 76% of the 104 universities on the provider register.
Typical durations run from 18 to 72 months, and funding bands (the training cost the employer's levy covers — apprentices pay no tuition) range from £12,000 to £27,000.
10 professional bodies recognise courses in this portfolio, including Engineering Council in partnership with the Joint Board of Moderator professional engineering institutions, The Royal College of Occupational therapists, College of Policing, Nursing and Midwifery Council / Minimum Level 6, Chartered Management Institute and The Institute of Leadership, and 8 courses lead to a regulated profession.
