Abstract

The move from a PgCAP to an Academic Professional Apprenticeship has required a shift in expectations of both participants and teachers. There have been substantive structural and pedagogic changes as adaptations to practice have evolved within a rapidly changing landscape. This presentation will be a reflection on the role of a module leader in these two programmes and the challenges and opportunities which arise from meeting both UKPSF and APA standards within a single course. This will include thoughts around curriculum design, work-based learning and supporting the End Point Assessment.

Expected outcomes of this session:

Explain the main differences between a PgCAP and an APA course
Recognise the different terminology and standards used on an APA programme and how they impact participant learning outcomes
Examine the advantages and disadvantages of an Academic Professional Apprenticeship route to gaining Fellowship of Advance HE
