Apprenticeships in banking and finance

Are you an employer looking to develop your workforce? Use your apprenticeship levy to invest in bespoke learning and development. Our higher and degree-level apprenticeships can help you upskill your workforce and recruit the best talent.

There’s never been a more urgent need for learning and development in banking and finance, or a better time for employers to take advantage of the apprenticeship levy.

If you're an employer looking to upskill your teams, then our apprenticeship programmes can help.


Your organisation is unique.


So, whether at entry level, or more advanced in their careers, your people need training that’s tailored to your business – and your business needs to attract the best new talent.

If you're an individual looking for an apprenticeship opportunity, please go to the UK government website to find an apprenticeship.

How our apprenticeship programmes can help

Use your apprenticeship levy to invest in bespoke learning and development. Our higher and degree-level apprenticeships can help you upskill your workforce and recruit the best talent.

We’re the only financial services professional body able to offer our own degrees in banking and finance higher apprenticeships.


We’ll work with you to design a tailored and flexible apprenticeship programme, starting at a time to suit you. And throughout your programme, we’ll support your apprentices and managers with regular monitoring and reporting.

To find out how we can help you, contact our team by emailing apprenticeships@libf.ac.uk.


If you an individual at school, college or university and want to apply for an apprenticeship, visit the UK government website. Unfortunately we can only respond to prospective employers.

Our apprenticeship programmes

Our higher apprenticeship programmes will help you attract, develop and retain staff – from entry level to senior executives.


Whether it’s a degree or an accelerated route to chartered status, we’ll work with you to tailor a programme for your business with a timeframe to suit you. And while we’re running your programme, we’ll support your apprentices and managers.

The support we provide to apprentices and managers:

  • regular one-to-ones with our experienced personal tutors to coach your apprentices
