Helping you learn new skills and develop existing ones
Solent University is an applied university that has been involved with apprenticeships through trailblazers, industry bodies and with employers since the introduction of higher and degree apprenticeships in 2017. In October 2018, the University achieved a grading of 'Good' after a full Ofsted Inspection. The University works alongside employers to provide the best possible training experience for apprentices - providing teaching from academics who are experts in their field, alongside access to state-of-the-art facilities. With a flexible approach to delivery across a range of sectors and levels, an apprenticeship through Solent University offers an opportunity for progression and skills development from Levels 4 to 7.
