You will have 1 day per week dedicated to your 20% off the job training with the training provider, BPP. They will deliver the off the job training in an online style. You will have a tutor(s) delivering learning sessions, with an initial 3-week online boot camp, followed by group webinar-based sessions for each module and 1-2-1 tutor sessions for example on a regular basis. You will also have regular review meetings with your tutor and line manager every 3 months.
