Whether you're already delivering business change or managing people who are, this fully funded apprenticeship gives you the structure, frameworks and support to grow confidently.
Many professionals step into business change roles because they are capable, curious and naturally good problem-solvers, before they ever receive formal training.
They deliver results, ask the right questions, and often become the “go-to” person for untangling complexity.
But without structure, frameworks or guidance, even the most capable people can feel: unsure how to formalise what they already do, hesitant to push back or challenge assumptions, stretched between delivery and learning, ready to grow, but unsure how.
The Business Analysis, Change & AI Apprenticeship helps them build confidence, clarity and credibility not by adding pressure, but by giving them the tools and support to thrive.
For more than 30+ years, we’ve helped professionals and organisations develop practical change capability through supportive, expert-led training.
Real Stories. Real Growth. Real Change.
Before we tell you what this apprenticeship can do, let’s show you what it looks like in practice.
Meet Miranda, an IT Business Systems Manager already involved in business change, problem-solving and supporting delivery. Like many capable professionals, she learned the role through experience, using common sense and “figuring it out” on the job.
When Miranda joined the Business Analysis, Change & AI Apprenticeship, she found the structure, frameworks and mentoring she needed to grow with confidence and clarity.
“The apprenticeship gave me confidence to push back.”
— Miranda, IT Business Systems Manager
Stepping into a fast-paced IT environment, Miranda often saw projects slow down because requirements weren’t clear. Through the programme, she learned practical tools to bring clarity to complex problems, challenge assumptions respectfully, and contribute more strategically in discussions.
Today, she leads change with confidence, asking better questions, communicating more clearly and helping her organisation deliver improvements with fewer delays.
“I’ve always been self-taught… Now I find it easier to push back and say, ‘That’s not right — can you clarify this?’ It’s about being taken more seriously, being more confident, and contributing more in meetings.”
— Miranda, IT Business Systems Manager
Miranda’s experience is typical of many mid-career professionals who join the programme, already capable, but ready to grow with structure, support and recognised skills.
