The University of Cumbria has extensive experience in delivering high quality paramedic education across the UK. Currently, we have over 1000 learners on the CPD programme with formal contracts with 9 out of the 11 English ambulance services. We also deliver the HM armed forces paramedic programme and an open access paramedic course from our Ambleside campus. This pedigree in paramedic education has led to the creation of the Centre of Excellence in Paramedic Practice (CEPP), which recently won the Preferred Provider Status for the Southern Ambulance Alliance (SWAST, SCAS, SECAMB, LAS, IoW), East of England Ambulance Service and North West Ambulance Service for paramedic degree apprenticeships. The University now has over 400 registered learners across the 6 apprenticeship programmes.
