Derby Apprenticeship
Prosthetic and Orthotic Technician Apprenticeship Route
The University of Derby offers a Level 3 Prosthetic and Orthotic Technician Apprenticeship, and a Degree Apprenticeship at Level 6. The programme provides students an opportunity to qualify as either a Prosthetic/Orthotic Technician or Practitioner.
Apprenticeships offer companies the chance to embed new skills and grow talent within their workplace while offering apprentices the opportunity to learn on the job and earn simultaneously.
The collaboration: BAPO Teatime talk
The P&O Apprenticeship department at the University of Derby has collaborated with the British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists on their bi-weekly teatime talk as part of a joint effort to create awareness of this apprenticeship program.
With the need to grow the P&O profession and equip more people with skills sufficient to meet the population’s needs, we believe that the place of the apprenticeship will facilitate an increased workforce.
