Dedicated Employer Support

CIMA supports employers sponsoring apprentices via our team of Business Development Managers (BDM) and apprenticeship coordinator; each employer will have a nominated contact in the team. BDMs are equipped to answer end-point assessment related queries, offer advice and provide employer support where necessary.

The apprentices are an integral part of any team they work in, and so they not only work in their team day-to-day, but they also complete projects and are involved in new initiatives taking place
