OUR APPRENTICESHIP
The Rhotic Elevate Degree Apprentice programme is a multi-award-winning scheme that has achieved national recognition over the past four years due to the springboard it offers candidates into the financial services industry.
Our apprentices tackle important, meaningful, work from day one. They learn the fundamental concepts that support the functioning of global capital markets and get to work on client accounts that include some of the largest financial institutions and marketing companies in the world.
As apprentices study for their undergraduate degree, they combine on-the-job training with off-the-job learning to learn how the industry works and gain core skills.
STRUCTURED TRAINING
The 2025 Marketing Manager Degree Apprenticeship is supported by academic delivery from London South Bank University. Successful apprentices are awarded a BSc (Hons) in digital Marketing and Chartered Status (ACIM) from the Chartered Institute of Marketing. The Chartered Institute for IT, will also recognise this apprenticeship (on request) for entry onto the register of IT technicians, confirming SFIA level 3 professional competence.
Apprentices at Rhotic are supported by colleagues who have already successfully completed a degree apprenticeship. This ensures candidate portfolios are built thanks to relevant work-based projects that cross with the apprenticeship’s Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSB) standards.
The academic delivery covers the principles of marketing, finance and the economy, management, advertising, market research and contemporary communications. Apprentices also receive dedicated work-based training to understand capital markets, personal finance and insurance.
