Professional Apprenticeships in Business, Finance & Law



Professional Apprenticeships



Get ready for the real world...

If you're young, bright, ambitious and considering a career such as Accountancy, Financial Services, Investment Operations, HR or Marketing then a Professional Apprenticeship could be the right choice for you.

BPP Professional Apprenticeships enable you to start gaining hands-on experience with an employer in your chosen profession straight after your GCSEs or A Levels, while working towards the professional qualifications you'll need to succeed in your career. It's a full-time job with a full-time salary and no tuition fees.

...with you in control.

With an apprenticeship, you can decide just how far you want to progress as your career develops. Even better, if you choose to have a break or change direction you'll have valuable qualifications and experience under your belt.

Top employers

BPP is an apprenticeships training provider for many of the UK's leading companies, from independent firms to large corporate businesses including RBS, Fujitsu, KPMG, Ford and AXA. We work with them to find, train and develop apprentices within their business. You'll learn the skills your employer needs and become a strong asset to them for the future as well as gaining qualifications taught by expert BPP tutors.

Progression routes

Each and every one of our apprenticeships are aligned with a professional qualification with a clear progression path to the next qualification in your chosen career without having to go to university. Training costs are funded by your company and/or the government so you won't build up debt from tuition fees (it's not uncommon to leave university owing over £26000!*). You could actually qualify as a Chartered Accountant in five years as an apprentice rather than six via university.

Not at all. With all the recent changes in going to university together with the desire to find a job, Professional Apprenticeships offer a real alternative for high-achieving school leavers.
As well as being paid a wage, nearly 100% of the time your employer pays for the training costs. Your employer can also apply for government funding towards the cost depending on your age and apprenticeship programme. If you're aged 24+ and do need funds to cover the training cost, you can apply for an Advanced Learning loan from the government to help pay fees and charges for Level 3 and Level 4 or Advanced or Higher Apprenticeships.

You can do. Our apprenticeships offer clear pathways to qualifications previously only accessible via University. So after your apprenticeship you could take it further and end up with the same letters after your name.
It's hard to say. You'll earn money throughout your apprenticeship of course, without building up a student debt from tuition fees. Plus you'll also have valuable experience that makes you more attractive to an employer – which in the long term means you might well be better off.
When you put it like that, university looks very attractive. But as an apprentice, not only will you avoid the costs associated with going to university, you'll also have the advantage of already being in a paid job, having really valuable experience and getting your career off to a flying start.
