Student Progress

You will progress through a set number of academic modules per academic year, with professional competencies (Skills, Knowledge and Behaviours) via in-work assessment and portfolio evidence, depending on your course and its structure. We will conduct a Tripartite Review (TPR) in the first six weeks, then on a regular basis throughout your programme. This will be between you, your course representative and your line manager/mentor. It will be an opportunity for you to discuss progress, raise concerns and agree SMART targets for the next period of learning.

  • Off The Job Learning (OTJL) Overview

    Over the duration of your apprenticeship, you need to keep a log of your ‘Off-The-Job Learning. These hours comprise active learning related to the role you are training for such as:

    • Participation in university taught sessions
    • Lectures including simulated sessions, seminars, workshops, tutorials
    • Study time during your working day in which you complete research, gather knowledge and write assignments.
    • Work-based development - formal or informal placements in different settings, work shadowing, completing tasks in work

    OTJL forms are available on APTEM to complete and should be submitted to your learning plan for the corresponding month to be approved by the academic team. Please give as much detail as you can about work outside the university. It must be made clear in your logs how the work outside the university relates to your apprenticeship. For logging university time, simply pop the module code in. For anything else make sure you are clear that it is time at work during normal working hours and not a day off or your own time.

  • Triparite Review Meetings

    All apprentices must attend regular Tripartite Reviews Meetings (TPRs) with their employer and the University. These meetings track your progress, set goals, and ensure your training aligns with the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours.

    You are responsible for booking your TPR, in line with your programme requirements, within the given window and participating fully. If you are unsure how to do this, please contact apprenticeships@cumbria.ac.uk. Missing a TPR may result in it going ahead without you or even withdrawal from the programme.

    TPRs can be held in person or virtually. Each TPR must be signed by you and the University lead. Unsigned reviews will be followed up and reported to the academic and quality teams.

  • Re-Registration

    Annually, the University must re-register all students,  including apprentices, to ensure we meet our statutory requirements and maintain accurate data.

    All students who are still on the programme on the 1st August will receive a registration email and link asking that they register for their course. This is a mandatory requirement that all students must complete to ensure that access to the University IT is not interrupted, and the release of module/degree transcripts are not withheld from students.

    For further details on the registration process for returning apprentices please see Registration
