BPP Education Group has been awarded national delivery of accountancy apprenticeships to civil servants nationwide. It will support over 650 apprentices across 100 Civil Service departments and agencies to achieve ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW or AAT accountancy qualifications.
Individuals will undertake the Level 3 Assistant Accountant, Level 4 Professional Accounting/Taxation Technician and or Level 7 Accountancy/Taxation Professional accountancy apprenticeships where they will benefit from over 45 years of finance expertise.
BPP has been providing accountancy apprenticeships for 14 years and has trained two thirds of all accountants in the UK at some point in their careers.
This follows a formal tender process by the cabinet office on behalf of the Civil Service Apprenticeship Unit and was managed through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS).
The accountancy apprenticeship proposition supports the government’s ’2022-2025 Government Finance Function Strategy’ by using apprenticeships to upskill a specialist finance workforce who “meet the high standards of financial management expected by Parliament and citizens”.
Adam Temple, managing director at BPP’s Accountancy School said: “Collaborating with the Cabinet Office to develop finance expertise across the Civil Service is a great honour for BPP – upskilling finance teams through our apprenticeships will help finance to be at the heart of decision-making to deliver better value for money and strengthen public trust.
“Operating at the centre of all departments, our finance learners will be uniquely placed to develop more joined-up and robust solutions to the challenges facing government. And our training programmes will support the maintaining and strengthening of the Government Finance Function ensuring they are meeting the demands of today and building resilience for the future.”
