How this apprenticeship programme works

This programme is available for cohorts of ten or more learners. Apprentices who successfully complete this programme will qualify for chartered status, provided they have at least three years relevant work experience.

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.
