Welcome

Welcome to our Professional Services brochure.

I am delighted that you are interested in finding out more information about what we offer. Professional Services at Bede encompasses Business, Law, Coaching and Mentoring and Sport.

Within Business we currently offer level 3 and level 5 CMI Business management qualifications along with the L3 Team leader and L5 Operations Departmental manager apprenticeship.

Within law we offer CILEX professional qualifications, legal apprenticeships and a career focused law degree. The latter is in partnership with Teesside University, affording students with the perks of being a TU student but with the added benefits of studying at Bede. Our legal provision offers a wide range of progression opportunities, from paralegal/legal secretary through to Qualified Chartered legal Executive/CILEX lawyer. This caters for people new to the profession, fast tracking law graduates or people with well established careers looking to upskill.

We have recently added the learning and skills mentor qualification to our portfolio offering, in response to the Local Skills Improvement Plan, which indicates a need in this area across the Tees Valley. This qualification will provide support to employers/employees so they feel equipped to hold high quality coaching and mentoring conversations with staff. It is an opportunity for employers to upskill the workforce and improve professional communication skills, therefore boosting recruitment and retention in staff.

We work closely with employers to offer a tailored programme to ensure that staff are upskilled with current knowledge and skills appropriate to their roles. Apprenticeships offer the chance for trainees to consolidate their learning during their off the job hours and apply their learning during their day to day role.

I hope you enjoy looking through this prospectus and get in touch if you require any further information.
