Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to be a learner with this provider?
Apprentices develop substantial new knowledge, skills and behaviours that enable them to be successful at work and academically. They gain confidence and take on responsibilities and tasks that they did not initially think they would be capable of. For example, laboratory scientist apprentices progress to being able to present complex clinical demonstrations to large audiences.
Most apprentices demonstrate a very high commitment to their studies and rarely miss any sessions. They are professional at work and often operate in challenging and demanding roles. Apprentices are rightly proud of what they achieve. For example, ACP apprentices share their pride after identifying undiagnosed conditions in patients during clinical skills sessions.
What does the provider do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders have a clear vision and rationale for their apprenticeship provision. Following a recent strategic review, they decided to stop offering some courses. This ensures that the apprenticeships they offer align fully with leaders' research and strategic priorities. Apprentices who are completing courses that are being 'taught out' are supported to complete their studies.
Employers are understandably highly satisfied with the communication and relationships they have with staff. Leaders consult frequently with employers about what their needs are. They use this information very well to inform apprenticeship curriculums. Employers highly value the guidance they receive from university staff to recruit and support their apprentices.
