8 April 2025

We are pleased to announce that the new Level 4 Intelligence Analyst Apprenticeship is now open for applications. The inaugural course commences on 23 June 2025, and you can apply directly on the course page.

Apprenticeships are fully funded by the employer through the Apprenticeship Levy. The maximum cost for the Apprenticeship is £11,000; this may be less, dependent on your recognised previous learning which will be assessed at interview through a robust initial assessment. There is no cost to the employee undertaking an Apprenticeship.

What does this apprenticeship offer?

  • Advanced analytical techniques for intelligence environments
  • Development of critical thinking and decision-making skills
  • Practical experience to enhance professional capability.

Who is it for?

This programme is ideal for professionals already working in intelligence roles who want to deepen their expertise, refine their analytical approach, and gain a formal qualification while continuing to work full-time. While it will be of particular interest to those already working as analysts, it may also be of interest to those involved in analytical activities in support of targeting and prioritisation of subjects of interests or other investigations.

If you’re an employer looking to upskill your team or a professional ready to enhance your intelligence career, get in touch to learn more. If you are interested contact apprenticeships@buckingham.ac.uk
