Significant events
- “Towards the end of the year, the Apprenticeship business was transferred inside the BPP group from BPP Actuarial Education to BPP Professional Education, to consolidate the accounts BPP held with the Department for Education. This internal transfer has led to a slight reduction in the revenue and profits remaining in BPP Actuarial Education this year.”
