Nottingham Law School has won a contract to provide solicitor apprenticeships to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)

The School will deliver the apprenticeship programme for the north of England, taking on 15 apprentices this year with up to 10 per year expected for the next three year. Apprentices will work for the CPS during the programme, preparing for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) before moving to a Crown Prosecutor role.

Patrick Harwood, CPS head of Learning & Development, said the programme ‘allows employees from diverse backgrounds to access high quality training and hone their operational skills and knowledge’.
