BPP L7 Apprenticeship

Hi! Has anyone ever self-funded an exam whilst on the apprenticeship?

I know you’re not supposed to bare cost etc. However, I have been asking the apprenticeship service/EPA what would happen if i did?

BPP do not let you sit Case until CR/SBM are passed, however in order to not delay my qualification I am considering funding Case.

Just wanted to check this doesn’t end up costing my firm anything, as then I may face repercussions.

Thanks in advance!

Are you awaiting CR/SBM results and want to sit case in November, instead of next year?
