Think Kaplan only trains in finance? Think again. Discover how our data and tech apprenticeships can future-proof your workforce.
When you think of Kaplan, you likely think of accountancy and finance training. For decades, we’ve been a trusted name in the industry, setting the standard for quality and results. But when your clients couldn’t find a provider that matched the same level of excellence for data and technology training, they turned to us.
That’s why we developed a range of cutting-edge data and technology training and apprenticeships to complement our core offerings, built with the same rigorous quality, expert delivery, and results-driven approach that we are known for.
Our programmes are designed to tackle the real-world challenges your teams face, whether that’s uncovering valuable insights as a data analyst, supporting strategic decision-making as an ACCA finance analyst, streamlining systems as a business analyst, or optimising user experience as a digital product manager. Each apprenticeship blends technical expertise with practical application, equipping your team to make an impact from day one.
Why data and technology skills are crucial
It’s no discrete that data and technology are the bedrock of today’s professional world, influencing decisions, improving efficiency, and driving productivity. From advanced data analysis for better forecasting to software development that fuels innovation, data literacy is no longer optional.
And yet, skill gaps persist. According to the IT Skills Gap Report by Forbes Advisor, 93% of UK employers believe that there is a significant IT skills shortage in the job market.
In response to this, our apprenticeship programmes are built to bridge the gap between untapped talent and real-world expertise, offering scalable, sustainable solutions to upskill your workforce.

Why choose apprenticeships?
Before choosing how to transform your workforce, consider these key reasons to invest in apprenticeships:
- Close skills gaps: Apprenticeships develop critical skills in-house, saving you from the competitive and costly process of hiring external talent.
- Build sustainable talent pipelines: Apprenticeships create loyal, capable professionals who grow with your organisation, reducing turnover and securing long-term talent.
- Real-world application: Unlike traditional learning, apprenticeships focus on hands-on experience. Apprentices solve real organisational challenges as they learn.
- Cost-effective development: With government funding and apprenticeship levy options, apprenticeships can be a more affordable and impactful investment compared to traditional hiring or outsourcing.
