How this apprenticeship programme works

We run open, multi-employer programmes and closed, single-employer programmes. Please contact us by emailing apprenticeships@libf.ac.uk to find out more about our minimum cohort size requirements.

You can choose from two routes, both of which lead to chartered status:

the degree route, generally suited to entry-level staff, leads to a BSc (Hons) Finance & Investment
the accelerated route, ideal for upskilling more experienced staff to develop them into future leaders.
