We are a Government-approved apprenticeships provider unlike any other
Operating inside one of the world’s biggest media businesses, we specialise in apprenticeships across media, digital and leadership.

Unique industry-based background
Delivering apprenticeships from inside the industry allows us to provide impactful programmes to develop entry level talent and upskill and reskill people at all career stages.
We work with over 60 employers, including the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV, to co-create bespoke and flexible apprenticeships that meet the needs of their business, people, and culture.

In-person or online
With key learning centres in London, Peterborough, Birmingham, and Manchester, we offer open programmes, with start dates across the year, and closed groups for employers with 8 or more learners.

Fully levy-funded
All our apprenticeships are fully funded by the Apprenticeship Levy, meaning employers don’t need to invest any additional training budget.

Innovative curriculum
Described by Ofsted as having “established a creative and innovative curriculum”, all our apprenticeship programmes are dedicated to the development of high-quality skills, with effective learner support services and safeguarding provision.

Thriving learning communities
We offer multiple opportunities for learners to connect and collaborate – both via our apprenticeships and through our enrichment programme called Community Connector.
Community Connector’s mission is to give learners the tools and skills they need to thrive personally and professionally. Whilst on programme, all learners can access all Community Connector content and sign up for 90-minute enrichment sessions. The sessions are an opportunity to link with peers from an array of organisations, meet all of Bauer Academy’s tutors, and attend Q&A sessions with industry professionals.
