During your studies
Find out more about your responsibilities as an apprentice and those of your employer and the University of Surrey as set out by the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
Your role as an apprentice
To ensure you are successful in the three parts of your apprenticeship (as above), you are responsible for the following:
- Your own learning development, including submitting assignments on time
- Preparing and engaging in regular reviews of your progress
- Behaving in a professional manner and adhering to the health and safety requirements in your job role and at the University
- Working in collaboration with Surrey and your employer to enable your own learning, development and progression
- Logging your off-the-job training
- Complying with our rules and regulations.
Change in circumstances
If you require a break from your apprenticeship or want to end it before completion, you and your employer must notify the University, and your employer must stop payments through their Digital Apprenticeship Service portal.
