What will the apprentice be doing?
What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?
Business analyst level 4
You will be working towards a BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis, as well as other relevant courses, ranging from soft skills to technical skills training.
Whilst on the scheme, we'll support your technical development through a wide range of on-the-job practical experiences and placements. We'll also support your professional development through a combination of classroom-led training courses, online training courses, mentoring opportunities and structured networking opportunities. You will receive one-to-one support throughout the programme from your scheme sponsor and placement manager. You'll also be provided a 'buddy' who will be a more experienced apprentice from the scheme.
We also have an established graduate and apprentice committee as well as an alumni group. These groups are powerful networks in developing your understanding of the organisation, different apprenticeship schemes and opportunities to develop your career. Many current graduates and apprentices believe this to be a powerful support network and they often hold apprentice only events that are very beneficial to your continued learning.
What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?
Upon successful completion of this scheme, you could roll-off into roles such as business analyst or product analyst, which could lead to further career development opportunities such as senior business analyst, BA team lead, business architect, product manager and more. TfL is a large organisation and the breadth of the business analyst role means there are many opportunities to progress in ten years, both in the T&D department and wider TfL organisation.

Possible placements could be within T&D business architecture, software development, business development, contact centre operations, data & analytics, payments analysis, and more.

Your scheme sponsor will ensure your placements are relevant and support your development
