QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

5 GCSE A*-C or 9-4 (or equivalent) Including Maths & English & A minimum of 96 UCAS Tariff Points (240 point old system), or equivalent (excluding UCAS points gained at AS level)

This is a five year scheme. Through five annual work placements you will learn and demonstrate skills required to successfully manage our complex projects and programmes including; communication, schedule management, budgeting and cost control, stakeholder management, risk management and project governance. Over 50% of those undertaking the Honours degree in Project Management, graduate with a first class Honours degree.
Working in Project Management means you will be the eyes and ears of a given project, ensuring it is delivered on time, to cost and of the required quality. You will gain a broad view across the project and will be able to demonstrate the elements needed to make it a success. This depends on understanding the big picture, recognising the key issues, making effective decisions and driving actions to their conclusion. The Integrated Degree apprenticeship in Project Management will develop and test all of these skills.
Please note you must not book any annual leave within the first 3 months of your apprenticeship. Following this, leave will be considered depending on the individual training delivery schedule and must be approved by your line manager.
