This Higher Apprenticeship represents a progression route into the professional services. The professional services provide support to businesses, helping them to improve and grow.
It will provide employers with a model to meet their need for a professionally qualified, highly skilled workforce by giving Higher Apprentices the required skills and knowledge, and to access a more diverse talent pool.

The framework consists of 3 pathways at Level 7, in Accountancy, Audit and Tax, taking the Higher Apprentices all the way to chartered status and equipping them for a high skill career, working either for professional services employers or in related wider industry roles.
