What are apprenticeship learning programmes?
Corndel provides levy-funded professional apprenticeship learning programmes in data, fundraising and people management.
Studying for an apprenticeship
These courses are delivered through part-time, remote learning.
These professional courses typically require commitment for at least 12 and up to 16 months, sometimes with additional time to complete an End Point Assessment.
They result in an industry-recognised Diploma qualification.
How to apply
If you would like to take part in one of these learning programmes, you need to register for a course insight session.
These are online events where you can find out more about the course content and requirements, the applications process and will be able to ask questions.
If you're interested in a course which doesn't currently have an insight session scheduled, please contact the team at Corndel.
Who can apply?
Fully-funded places on these courses are available for people who work at Hospice UK member organisations. They are only open to people who work in England.
Apprentices must be in employment and have the support of the employer to be eligible to take part.
