Roles in CAMHS

Apprenticeship in nursing

About the role...

The nursing degree apprenticeship will enable people to train to become a graduate registered nurse through an apprentice route.

Apprentices will be released by their employer to study part-time in a higher education institution and will train in a range of practice placement settings. They will learn at Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) approved education providers and will be expected to achieve the same standards as other student nurses.



More information...

Anyone can become an apprentice nurse, providing they meet the entry requirements for the degree programme as set out in the standards and their employer believes they are capable of the academic learning required to become a degree registered nurse.


Most nursing degree apprenticeships will take 4 years. It could take more time if the apprentice takes time off for any permitted reason. If the apprentice already has prior learning and experience which is accepted by the approved education institution under Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) arrangements it could take less than 4 years


Nursing degree apprentices won’t have to pay anything themselves. The cost of the apprenticeship will be paid by employers.
