Our Programmes
We offer a range of well-designed degree apprenticeship programmes to meet the professional needs of employers. Some of our programmes are offered as closed cohorts under contract with major employers, others are open and welcome single learners from a sponsoring employer.
We currently train 2,500 apprenticeships working with 390 employers. We welcome and support repeat business through established relationships, and welcome new employers and learners across our programmes.
Some of our programmes are delivered online with a national reach; others are delivered in a blended way with on-campus learning with a more regional focus. We also deliver a range of programmes at employers' own training bases and are happy to discuss requirements and explore options.
We encourage employers looking to place learners on a programme to contact appandempskills@cumbria.ac.uk at the earliest opportunity to review their organisational requirements and discuss options.
Our apprenticeship courses have a range of start dates, with some cohorts designed accommodate early career entrants starting at L4, whilst others might be designed for more experience’s learners entering at L5 or L6 with agreed prior learning.
