National apprenticeship standards

The University of Plymouth's portfolio of apprenticeships have been designed in collaboration with employers and align with nationally approved apprenticeship standards that reflect the job roles for which the apprentice trains.

The Town Planning Apprenticeship course helped me to broaden my knowledge of the variety of subject areas within planning. The inclusion of guest speakers, interactive nature of the lectures, and field trips helped me to understand how our learning could be applied in real-life job roles.

Chartered Town Planning Apprentice

As a direct result of my participation in the course, I was able to fast-track my membership of the RTPI and become a Chartered Town Planner within 10 months of my graduation. It has also enabled me to progress my career, being promoted to a Senior Planning Officer within my Local Authority
