Degree Apprenticeships
NPTC Group of Colleges and Wrexham Glyndŵr University (WGU) have recently been awarded funding under the new Degree Apprenticeship Pilot Programme for Wales. Reflecting the skills needs of Wales, universities and other degree awarding institutions were asked to design a new suite of digital programmes to enable Welsh organisations to upskill their existing employees or recruit new talent in areas such as software engineering, cyber security and data science for the new Digital Degree Apprenticeships Framework.

“Completing my Level 3 gave me the opportunity to progress into a new position in work and enrol onto university. The course was fantastic, flexible and I was fully supported by the amazing Kelly. Cannot recommend it enough!"
Level 3 Motor Vehicle Apprentice
Level 4 Leadership & Management Apprentice
Scott has been an excellent tutor who has completely supported me through this course and whilst studying remotely: communicating with me via email, calls and texts. He adapted his teaching skills accordingly to continue tutoring during these unusual times. His teaching style brought the best out in me and I would definitely recommend him and this course to my colleagues."
