Nearly every employer that takes on an apprentice (96%) reports benefits to their business and as part of an Northeastern University London apprenticeship every apprentice will learn from colleagues and achieve competence through their day-to-day activities. Every apprentice also must spend at least 6 hours of their typical working week on off-the-job learning, acquiring the additional skills.
Each course is assessed by a range of activities aligned to industry norms. The content, and consequently the learning outcomes and methods of assessment, vary between courses. Where possible, assessments will be undertaken in the workplace.
