An apprenticeship is a paid job combined with structured training. Apprentices develop practical skills in the workplace while completing learning that is directly relevant to their role.
Apprenticeships can support people at different stages of their career, including those entering a profession for the first time and existing employees who need to develop new skills or progress into greater responsibility.
Apprenticeships are available to eligible employees who are undertaking a role that allows them to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the relevant apprenticeship standard.
Eligibility will depend on factors including the apprenticeship selected, existing knowledge and experience, employment circumstances and current funding rules. Contact the SRSCC team if you are unsure whether an apprenticeship is suitable for you.
Yes. Apprenticeships are not only for new recruits or school leavers. Existing employees can complete an apprenticeship where the programme provides substantial new learning and helps them develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for their role.
This makes apprenticeships a practical way for employers to develop existing procurement and supply chain teams as well as recruit new talent.
SRSCC currently offers apprenticeship routes at Levels 3, 4 and 6, supporting learners from developing operational roles through to senior procurement and supply chain leadership.
SRSCC can help individuals and employers identify the most appropriate level based on current responsibilities, previous experience and development goals.
Apprenticeship funding depends on the apprentice’s age, the employer’s levy status and the funding rules in place when the apprenticeship starts.
For apprenticeship starts from 1 August 2026, training and assessment costs for eligible apprentices aged 16 to 24 are fully funded up to the relevant funding band maximum where the employer does not pay the levy, or where a levy-paying employer has exhausted the funds in its apprenticeship service account.
Different co-investment arrangements apply to apprentices aged 25 and over. SRSCC can help employers understand the funding arrangements that apply to a particular apprentice before enrolment.
Yes. Non-levy employers can access government funding towards eligible apprenticeship training and assessment.
For new starts from 1 August 2026, the government funds 100% of eligible training and assessment costs for apprentices aged 16 to 24, up to the funding band maximum. For apprentices aged 25 and over, the government contributes 95% and the employer normally contributes the remaining 5%, up to the funding band maximum.
Additional employer support may also be available in certain circumstances. Speak to SRSCC for guidance on current funding and eligibility.
An End Point Assessment is used to confirm that an apprentice has developed the occupational knowledge, skills and behaviours required by their apprenticeship standard.
The assessment takes place after the apprentice has completed their training and met the required gateway conditions. The exact assessment methods vary between apprenticeship standards and may include interviews, presentations, professional discussions or other forms of assessment.
The Level 4 Procurement and Supply Chain Practitioner Apprenticeship is designed for professionals who are ready to develop greater commercial and strategic procurement capability.
Learners develop skills across areas such as sourcing, contracting, negotiation, supplier relationships and responsible procurement. The SRSCC programme also incorporates the CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply.
Yes. Procurement and supply chain apprenticeships can provide clear progression routes as your responsibilities and experience develop.
For example, learners may progress from a Level 3 programme to the Level 4 Procurement and Supply Chain Practitioner Apprenticeship, while experienced professionals may progress to the Level 6 Senior Procurement and Supply Chain Professional Apprenticeship.
SRSCC also offers CIPS qualifications for learners who want to continue their professional procurement development.
SRSCC specialises in procurement and supply chain development and has delivered professional training since 2007. Apprentices benefit from experienced tutors, dedicated learner support and programmes designed around practical workplace application.
SRSCC is an Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ training provider and has maintained a 100% apprenticeship assessment pass rate, with no apprentice having failed their End Point Assessment and required a resit.

Progress Mentor
Bethanie began her career in the fitness industry, working as a personal trainer and gym instructor before becoming involved in coaching children through a triathlon club. This experience sparked her passion for working with young people and ultimately led her into a career in education. She initially worked in a nursery and later as a one-to-one teaching assistant in a primary school, before completing her teaching qualification and postgraduate studies. Since then, Bethanie has taught in both the private and state education sectors.
Her academic background includes a qualification in Sports Development, Fitness and Coaching at college, alongside a Childhood & Youth undergraduate degree (2:1). These studies have enabled her to combine her interests in sport, education, and child development, shaping her holistic approach to teaching and mentoring.
Bethanie is passionate about supporting learners to achieve their goals — educationally, personally, and in terms of wellbeing. She places strong emphasis on communication and relationship building, and takes great pride in helping individuals build confidence and overcome challenges. One of her proudest achievements has been supporting learners who initially doubted themselves to grow in confidence and achieve success.
Outside of work, Bethanie has always maintained a strong interest in sport. She previously competed in triathlons and now focuses on running and swimming. In 2023, she completed the London Marathon — an achievement she is particularly proud of. She also enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and their two dogs, which is where she is happiest when not working.
Skills Coach
Ola began her career in supply chain within fast-paced warehouse and logistics environments, where she developed a strong understanding of operations and people management. Her journey into the Supply Chain sector wasn’t planned, but through hands-on experience she discovered a passion for improving processes and supporting others – which naturally led her into training and development.
She has progressed through a range of roles across operations, recruitment, and training, including Programme Coach and L&D Lead. She designed and delivered apprenticeship programmes, supporting over 40 learners to successful completion and contributing to strong quality outcomes and inspection success. Her transition into mentoring was driven by a desire to make a direct impact on people’s confidence, growth, and career progression.
Ola’s mentoring style is supportive, structured, and empowering. She combines real operational experience with coaching expertise, helping learners apply knowledge in practical workplace settings. One of her proudest career achievements has been supporting learners who started with low confidence to achieve distinctions and progress into new roles within their organisations. She has also led a UK-wide Mental Health First Aider network, embedding wellbeing into workplace culture and supporting colleagues through challenging situations.
From day one, she shares a consistent message with every learner: “You’re more capable than you think – but you have to be willing to step outside your comfort zone to see it.”
Outside of work, Ola enjoys walking with her Border Collie, Luna, and cross stitching. She recommends Legacy by James Kerr to anyone in supply chain, for its powerful insights into leadership and culture. If she wasn’t working in mentoring and development, she would likely be pursuing a career as a Visual Merchandiser.
