A varied teaching and learning diet is used to allow apprentices to learn in a variety of ways and build competence.
Apprentice-Directed Learning
Apprentice-directed learning is an important feature. Apprentices receive a high level of direction and structure to support them in developing the skills
and abilities to be able to direct their own learning at the beginning of the programme. Over time, the level of support and structure decreases as the programme develops with the apprentice becoming increasingly autonomous through being able to direct and manage their own learning.
Work-based learning
For apprentices, learning within and from the workplace can bring advantages. For example, it has been suggested that the gap between learning in higher education and learning at work can be narrowed (Tynj’al’a, 2008) and learners can develop capable practice, and support personal development.
Resources
Resources include:
Staff
Staff who teach on the course come from the Division of Radiography and ODP and more specifically are trained and experienced Diagnostic Radiographers, with input from other Divisions in the Institute of Health and Social Care. Service users and people with lived experience also contribute to delivery of the course.
Personal tutoring
As a Health and Social Care student, you will be allocated a named tutor during your first three weeks at LSBU. The role of your tutor is to be your primary contact for academic and professional development support.
Your tutor will support you to get the most of your time at LSBU, providing advice and signposting to other sources of support in the University. They should be the first person at the university that you speak to if you are having any difficulties that are affecting your work. These could be academic, financial, health-related or another type of problem.
You will have appointments with your personal tutor once a year for up to 30 minutes throughout your course. You can contact your tutor for additional support by email.
It is anticipated that applicants will have a wide a variety of academic backgrounds, but should possess one of the following:
Accreditation of prior learning
Potential apprentices may apply for exemption for certain modules on the basis of prior learning and/or experience through the AP(E)L process when applying. This will be reviewed by the APEL team in the Institute of Health and Social Care for consideration of exemption and following a skills scan administered by the University Central Apprenticeship Team.

An Apprenticeship Standard is comprised of a programme of study, an End Point Assessment and on-the-job learning. This means that in addition to meeting academic requirements, you’ll need to be employed in a role related to your apprenticeship. The process of applying depends on whether you have an employer to sponsor (and support) you.
If you are employed and your employer has confirmed they will support your apprenticeship:
You are welcome to submit an application via our application system. You’ll need to provide details of your employment/employer as part of the application. You’ll also need to ensure you and your employer meet the requirements – find out who can be an apprentice to see if you meet the entry requirements and employer commitments to find out more about your employer’s role.
If you are not employed:
If you’re a prospective apprentice, you can find out more about who can be an apprentice on our student pages.
If you’re an employer, you can find information about the employer commitments and further related information on the related pages for business.

Your application will be circulated to a number of potential supervisors who will look at your academic qualifications, experience and the research proposal to decide whether your research interest is something that could be supervised at LSBU.
There will also be an interview either by telephone or at the University. If you are successful you will be offered a place on a course and informed of the next enrolment date. The whole process normally takes between six to eight weeks, from receipt of your application to a decision being made about your application at the School.
There are steps the apprentices, the employer and the University need to complete before you start your course. Take a look at the steps to be completed in the Enrolment section. Employers may also like to look at our steps to offering an apprenticeship.
