Future apprentices

An Apprenticeship is an excellent opportunity for you to earn while you learn.

If you've just left school or college, it’s a chance to kick-start your career without the expense of university. It's also an opportunity to gain qualifications that boost your prospects, or to re-train in a new career.

How does an Apprenticeship work?

Alongside work, you’ll study valuable professional skills and qualifications with BPP. We’ll make sure you have all the knowledge you need to pass each exam, with constant support in your studies and in the workplace.

We offer apprenticeships in potentially lucrative areas of employment, including:

• Apprenticeship in Accounting
• Apprenticeship in Business and Administration
• Apprenticeship in Customer Service
• Apprenticeship in Payroll
• Apprenticeship in Team Leading and Management

Why take an Apprenticeship?

Not everyone can take the academic route to a career in business, finance or accountancy. And an apprenticeship offers you a great alternative if you want to study without the burden of university debt. Many Apprenticeships feature Level three qualifications and Higher Apprenticeships feature Level four or five – equivalent to part of an undergraduate degree.

In many careers such as Accounting and Payroll, the qualifications gained as part of the Apprenticeship provide exemptions to the first level of a professional qualification. So they’re an excellent entry route to exclusive careers.

For your employer, Apprenticeships reduce the cost of your training. And if you’re aged 16 to18, your training could even be free.

Am I eligible for an apprenticeship?

You must meet certain criteria to qualify as an Apprentice. Find out if you're eligible.

A key starting point is to find employment that’s relevant to your Apprenticeship. There are many pathways and you might already be in an eligible role. If not, you can use:

• the Apprenticeship Vacancy Matching Service (AVMS)
• recruitment agencies
• careers services
• websites such as Not Going To Uni.

For more help, please see the advice sections on the pages for the apprenticeships we offer.
