Additionally, many pathways within this apprenticeship offer the opportunity to earn industry-recognised certifications or qualifications, which can help make you a more competitive candidate in the job market.

During your apprenticeship, you will have the opportunity to engage in various activities that will help you build a comprehensive portfolio of work.

These documents will serve as a testament to your hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence.

In addition to these hands-on experiences, all Business Support apprentices will delve into core business topics that are crucial for success in any industry.
