Welcome to BNU Apprenticeships
To help you prepare, we’ve put together everything you need to know on our website.
By accessing your enrolment instructions and all the other useful information in the links below, you’ll find out what you need to do before you start your apprenticeship programme with Buckinghamshire New University.
It’s important for you to attend your Induction Day. All apprentices will receive their Student ID badge and number at their Induction. Once you have received your Student ID you can log in and get access to both Blackboard (the Virtual Learning Environment) and Aptem (the Learner Management System), which you will use to access your assignments, submit course work and create an e-portfolio to evidence your work during your Apprenticeship.
But it's not all work! For information about social events and other opportunities to get involved and make new friends, please take a look at what Bucks Students' Union are planning.
Welcome to Buckinghamshire New University and the start of your apprenticeship journey.
