Hours and Retrieval process
The Registered Nurse Degree apprenticeship pathway requires hours such as those in practice and study days at the university to be recorded accurately on an electronic system called APTEM. Hours will form part of the discussions at the tripartite review as they are part of the assessment criteria for the practice modules on the programme. Should hours required not be met through, for example, prolonged sickness or a required break in learning, there are processes that will be activated to help manage these situations.
