Business and Professional Apprenticeships

Business is a wide-ranging umbrella term that can refer to multiple operational activities within an organisation.

As part of our commitment to providing business solutions, we offer apprenticeships in a number of different subjects allowing you to select the relevant training to meet your business needs.

We focus on providing high-quality professional business apprenticeship programmes for specialist functions including Management, Human Resources (HR), Accounting, Finance and Digital Marketing. All these roles support an organisation, ensuring business operations run smoothly.

Many of the apprenticeships and professional development programmes we offer combine learning techniques that complement training workshops.

Blended learning can solve many of the issues facing both traditional learning and eLearning by combining them in a ‘best of both’ approach: Online delivery and instructor-led workshops incorporated into one package. Theories learned in the workshop are then practiced and applied in the workplace, thus strengthening the learning process.

In the next section below you will find our range of business and professional apprenticeships. You can also view or download our brand new guide for employers.
