Programme registration
All new students must register on their programme using our online e:Vision registration facility before they begin their studies.

This is a temporary status that allows you to undertake study and use the computing and library facilities, but you will be unable to obtain a student card or get confirmation of your student status.
Your programme of study
Here is some useful information about your apprenticeship journey at Leeds Trinity University.
There are two main parts to your apprenticeship, which form your programme:
1. The learning you undertake which helps you successfully pass your apprenticeship (the knowledge, skills and behaviours, or KSBs, set out in the apprenticeship standard).
2. The achievement of your academic qualification.
You will receive:
• A programme handbook, which will provide details of your qualification (usually a degree, a higher education certificate or a diploma).
• A module handbook for each module you take, which outlines the content and assessment of each module in more detail.
All handbooks will be available on Moodle, our virtual learning environment, on or before your first date.
Work-based learning
Work-based learning at higher education level draws on adult learning theories and highlights the importance of the context in which learning takes place, and the work purposes for which learning is undertaken. Work-based learning programmes value and acknowledge learning that is happening in the workplace when you are carrying out your job role.
Our Work-based Learning Framework aims to:
• Enable the apprentice and their employer to agree work-based learning activity which contributes to their goals, aspirations and the requirements of the apprenticeship.
• Recognise and develop the workplace as a source of learning.
• Develop the apprentice as an effective workbased learner who is able to undertake research and development activity that is directly relevant to their work.
• Encourage and enable the apprentice to take responsibility for their continuing development.
• Be learner-centred.
• Provide a structured approach to “real” workbased projects, allowing the apprentice to contribute to the development of the organisation where they work.
• Focus on the importance of knowledge as a key resource.
e-Learning
Leeds Trinity University uses Moodle, a virtual learning environment. Through Moodle, you can:
• Access details of your academic programme, including key dates, electronic reading lists, assessment information, as well as presentations, videos (via Panopto) and lecture notes.
• Submit your assignments via the Turnitin submission box.
• View your assessment results.
To access Moodle, visit workbasedlearning.leedstrinity.net.
KSB’s
• View announcements and information from your tutors.
• Find templates for monitoring your progress towards the apprenticeships and KSBs, reflective journal entries, and logging your off-the-job learning.
Apprenticeships aim to develop knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs).
Knowledge: During the apprenticeship, you will learn relevant information, technical knowledge, and gain experience that you need to understand to perform your job role competently.
Skills: There are many essential skills required for personal and professional development. Throughout the apprenticeship, you will develop and learn to apply the skills needed to successfully perform the job role.
Behaviours: Through the apprenticeship, You will apply instinctive behaviours and learn taught behaviours to help you successfully perform the job role.
Details of your programme KSBs can be found in your programme handbook or on the Skills England website at skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships.
Off the job learning
You will record your learning regularly by utilising an off-the-job record template. This must be undertaken within your normal working hours and contribute to the minimum 6 hours per week requirement for full-time apprentices.
Off-the-job learning must be away from your normal working duties and teach new KSBs that are relevant to your apprenticeship. This includes on-campus workshops, tutorials, independent research, writing learning journal entries and experiences which are related to your role but are not part of your contractual duties.
Off-the-job learning must take place during the planned ‘practical’ period, and must be demonstrated prior to undertaking the end-point assessment.
Progress reviews
Progress review meetings provide an opportunity for you, your line manager, your workplace mentor (if you have one), and a Leeds Trinity University representative to discuss your progression on the programme Progress review meetings are typically held every three months and are conducted in-person or via a telephone or video call.
A form is completed during your review, which allows Leeds Trinity University to check the workplace support you have in place, as well as allowing you to express any concerns, raise issues and set appropriate targets to work towards.
The discussion also provides an opportunity to talk about how you are evidencing your time spent completing off-the-job learning and building your Portfolio of evidence.
End-point assessment
The end-point assessment (EPA) assesses your performance across the whole apprenticeship and is conducted at the end of the practical period. Before the EPA, you must enter the Gateway which ensures all aspects of the apprenticeship have been achieved and can be evidenced.
This is to ensure that you have:
• Achieved your off-the-job required time.
• Completed and achieved the required modules.
• Evidence of English and Maths exemptions, if required.
• A portfolio of evidence in accordance with the apprenticeship standards
There are a range of assessment methods including:
• Practical assessments
• Project
• Written and/or multiple-choice testing
• Presentations
• Interview For more information, visit the Skills England website at: gov.uk/government/organisations/skills-england
If the apprenticeship standard is an integrated apprenticeship, the EPA will be carried out by Leeds Trinity University. If the apprenticeship is non-integrated, the EPA will be carried out by an external EPA organisation selected by your employer. Following successful EPA, the apprenticeship is graded as a pass, merit or distinction.
Mentoring
Your employer may identify a workplace mentor to support you during your apprenticeship. A mentor can help you to identify objectives and off-the-job learning opportunities within the workplace. Speak to your line manager if you are unsure who your mentor is.
Your timetable
You can access your personalised teaching timetable on e:Vision under ‘My Timetable’ or via myLTU. Once you begin your studies, we recommend that you check your timetable regularly in case of any room updates.
Bitesize regulations
As a registered apprentice with Leeds Trinity University, you are governed by the General Academic Regulations and the Programme Regulations for your course.
Extensions and Mitigating Circumstances
Extensions on your assessments are available under certain circumstances. You can find out more information about our policies on extensions and mitigating circumstances on the ‘Essential Information’ tile and the ‘My Student Record and Assessment’ section in the ‘Student Information Point’ tile in myLTU.
Attainment and assessments
Information about assessments and understanding your results can be found on the ‘Essential Information’ tile and the ‘My Student Record and Assessment’ section in the ‘Student Information Point’ tile in myLTU.
Assessments and the online submission of work
You should double-check all assignment and assessment details as issues in your module handbook and/or on Moodle. General assessment requirements will be published in your online programme handbook.
It is standard practice for work to be submitted online, via Moodle and/or Turnitin – the plagiarism detection system. It is your responsibility to upload and submit the correct file, so be careful to name your documents clearly as there will be no case for mitigating circumstances on the basis of confusion.
Engagement and attendance
Attending learning activities and engaging with your studies is an important part of your apprenticeship journey.
Attendance
Throughout your programme, you will take part in learning activities such as g roup discussions, practical sessions and projects which would be ineffective with poor attendance.
Absence
If you know that you are going to be absent from a scheduled activity, please let the University know as soon as possible.

The car park is regularly checked, so you will need to adhere to parking regulations to avoid receiving a fine. Spaces cannot be reserved in the car parks, and it can get very busy.
Designated accessible car parking spaces are available for car drivers that hold a Blue Badge. It is free to park in an accessible bay providing you have a valid Blue Badge on display.
Electric cars or vans can only be charged on campus from designated charging points in the South car park behind Fountains Court.
