Employers
A BPP apprenticeship presents a superb opportunity to train new or existing employees with BPP – at a reduced rate or even free. So whether your apprentice is a recently employed school leaver, or a more established employee wanting relevant qualifications, our Apprenticeships boost the skills in your business.
Why train staff through apprenticeships?
For employers, apprenticeships reduce the cost of training, as apprenticeships are often part funded by the Skills Funding Agency. And for apprentices between the age of 16 and 18, training could even be free.
Alongside their work, your apprentice will study valuable professional skills and qualifications, making them a greater asset to your business and helping you fill vital roles from within. Many Apprenticeships feature Level three qualifications and Higher Apprenticeships feature Level four or five – equivalent to part of an undergraduate degree.
By training employees through Apprenticeships, you’re making your organisation more competitive, efficient and effective.
In certain careers, such as Accounting, Payroll and Financial Services, the qualifications gained as part of the Apprenticeship also provide exemptions to the first level of a professional qualification – for example, Chartered Accountancy.

Why choose BPP for apprenticeships?
At BPP we’re committed to training business professionals throughout their careers – helping them maximise their potential with a relentless focus on quality. That’s one reason why, in 2010, we became the first private provider in 30 years to be granted university college status by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).
The same goes for our Apprenticeships. Our teaching is delivered by highly qualified tutors who bring subjects to life with their own practical experience. They’re supported by innovative training materials – including online lectures – ensuring study fits around work.
What’s more, BPP apprenticeships offer support, counselling and mentoring during and beyond the programme.
This includes a Work Based Assessor team who are:
