Business Analyst Level 4 Apprenticeship Discovery Event
The withdrawal of government funding from the Improvement Practitioner Level 4 Apprenticeship has left many organisations considering how they continue to develop practical improvement capability at this level.
Employers valued its practical approach, the workplace projects completed by learners and the measurable savings those projects could generate as part of a wider improvement strategy.
This free discovery event will explore the apprenticeship options, including the levy funded Business Analyst Level 4 Apprenticeship.
Business Analysis plays an important role in helping organisations make better-informed decisions throughout improvement, change and transformation. Business Analysts investigate business needs, analyse processes and data, engage stakeholders, define requirements and develop evidence-based recommendations that support effective implementation.
CQM’s Business Analyst Level 4 programme combines the full apprenticeship standard with our wider experience in Continuous Improvement, Lean and leadership development. Apprentices apply their learning to a genuine organisational opportunity and develop a detailed implementation proposal addressing a real business need.
During the session, we will explore:

- Where Business Analyst Level 4 fits within a wider improvement strategy
- How Business Analysis supports better decisions across people, processes, systems and data
- The similarities and differences between Business Analyst and Improvement Practitioner
- How the apprenticeship connects with Improvement Technician Level 3 and Improvement Specialist Level 5
- Commercial Lean Six Sigma Green Belt options including accreditation post completion of Business Analyst Level 4
- Suitable roles, workplace opportunities and funding considerations
