The course is designed to enable you to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours employers of the sector say they want and need.

On this apprenticeship, you can expect to complete 1,000 hours of placements across three years.

Placement structure:

• Year 1: two 6-week placements
• Year 2: one 10-week placement
• Year 3: one 6-week placement
