Procurement Apprenticeships
All levels of procurement apprenticeships are available to study with us, meaning you get the same ABA service as studying any CIPS course, with the bonus of gaining a full apprenticeship.

CIPS qualifications are included in all apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships with ABA give you procurement professional tutors, industry leading contact hours, outstanding resources, and most importantly, a team who care about making sure you suceed.
As an apprenticeship Main Provider we do things a little differently: our apprenticeships are designed for our apprentices. We are flexible, personable, and work to give you the best experience possible. Students have the same Skills Coach for the duration of their study, who will work closely with them to design a programme that works.
