Your training plan

Our Finance Analyst apprenticeship programme integrates eight modules of technical training with work based projects. This ensures that learning and skills are directly applied to the apprentice’s role, and maximises the time used as part of off-the-job training.

As an evolution of the Data User apprenticeship, this industry tailored programme is the first of its kind to combine essential data skills and competencies with core accountancy knowledge for those working in a finance function, but not necessarily in an accounting role. It offers your employees the unique opportunity to be equipped with relevant skills to directly apply their learning in the workplace and unlock potential from your data.

As well as developing technical skills using a range of core technologies and platforms, your employees will develop the ability to source, analyse, work with financial data, and generate insights that underpin business decisions to build a case for change.
