Why Become an Apprentice?

Apprenticeships are a job with training and are an excellent way to gain knowledge and valuable skills employers want.

Levels of Apprenticeships

We currently offer two types of apprenticeships at the College. Which level you undertake will depend upon your current qualifications or experience.

Higher Education Student Numbers

In order to help ensure that the student experience is maintained at a high level across the life of partnership programmes, there is a minimum of 12 students required to enrol in year 1 of each programme offered by East Durham College in partnership with the University of Sunderland in order for it to run.

Higher Education - Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs)

Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) are extra help for students who have a disability, a mental-health condition or specific learning difficulty like dyslexia or dyspraxia. You don’t have to pay these back.
