Thanks to the help of Digital Marketing student, Alex Ivatt, we have created a short video to celebrate and showcase the pass-out parade of one of the cohorts from the course. All our apprentice officers will take part in such an event on completion of their 19 weeks of training with West Yorkshire Police, before joining as a probationary constable in one of the five districts of the region.
Throughout the programme, apprentices are assessed via various methods including:
Apprentices will also create an Operational Competence Portfolio of evidence. Towards the end of the programme, each apprentice will undertake the 'End Point Assessment' which has been designed to ensure that the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the apprenticeship standard have been developed.

Your programme of study has been carefully designed around a three-phase model of delivery:
Preparation, Live and Post teaching and learning and the digital materials used will vary by course, but will be designed to help you structure your learning, take a full and active part in your course, and apply and test your developing knowledge and skills.

Apprenticeships are fully funded by your employer if their wage bill is over £3 million each year.
The government will fund up to 95% of the apprenticeship’s course fees, up to the relevant funding band, if the organisation has spent all its levy or has an annual wage bill below £3 million each year. Employers who do not pay the apprenticeship levy contribute 5% towards the total cost of the apprenticeship, the ESFA will contribute the other 95% directly to the University. Employers must have an account with the Apprenticeship Service Account to be able to reserve Government funding for an apprenticeship. This reservation ensures that funds will be available to pay for the training from the point the apprenticeship starts.
Read more about how levy payments work at the UK Government website.
