Kent Business College Fund

An investment beyond core training.

The KBC Fund supports additional professional development and learner benefits alongside your programme. Your agreed offer identifies the qualifications, examinations, memberships and wider support included.

Additional professional certifications and learner benefits are distinguished from eligible apprenticeship training and assessment costs. They are not presented as an automatic entitlement to extra government levy funding.

For marketing apprenticeships, KBC’s offer includes the full relevant CIM Level 4 Certificate or Level 6 Diploma in Professional & Digital Marketing, agreed assessments and full CIM membership.

Project Controls Professional

£27,000 apprenticeship funding.
£7,000 additional IPC support.

Two distinct parts of your PCP learning package

£27,000 supports the apprenticeship training and assessment. The additional £7,000 IPC package supports the wider professional learning experience; it is not a cash payment to the learner.

What the £7,000 IPC package covers

  • Professional examination costs
  • Professional memberships
  • The KBC graduation ceremony
  • Benenden Health membership for private healthcare support
  • London masterclass events
  • Agreed transportation costs

The programme offer confirms the examinations, membership periods, travel arrangements and included services. Benenden is a healthcare membership service, rather than private medical insurance; its terms and service criteria apply.

These funding figures relate to the complete PCP apprenticeship pathway. Standalone course fees are quoted separately for the course and format selected.

Apprenticeship route

Eligible funding, with additional KBC support.

Eligible learners can combine apprenticeship training with the additional professional development included in the agreed KBC pathway. The offer can be fully funded through the applicable apprenticeship arrangements and additional KBC/IPC support.

Funding eligibility, levy availability, employer contributions, prior learning and the individual training plan must be assessed. KBC and IPC support do not automatically remove a mandatory employer contribution.

Standalone delivery

Choose the route that suits you.

Weekly, weekend and compressed-week standalone courses can be self-funded or employer-funded. Standalone delivery is not automatically eligible for Department for Education apprenticeship funding. Weekend delivery is outside that funding offer.

Marketing short-course prices are confirmed separately. Your written offer confirms any available support for a standalone course.
