Entry requirements
Candidates for Graduate Apprenticeships must be at least 16 years of age, and individual suitability for entry will be decided by an employer and their learning provider partner. As with most degree programmes, entry requirements are likely to vary across learning providers, and learning providers are expected to consider ways they can provide support to individuals who do not hold traditional entry qualifications but have nevertheless shown aptitude and competence at the necessary level.
Progression and development
Graduate Apprentices completing the Project Management pathway could gain employment in the following areas:
- Project Manager
- Programme Manager
- PMO Manager
How much will it cost?
As Graduate Apprentices are your employees, you will pay their salary. This is not set by SDS but we do encourage all employers to pay the living wage.
Time to complete
A GA at SCQF level 10 (honours degree level) will take up to four years to complete. A GA at SCQF level 8 or 9 (high apprenticeship) and SCQF level 11 (professional body qualification) will take up to two years to complete.
Some individuals may complete the GA in a shorter period of time because the format means they can attend university or college outwith traditional term times.
