BCE

BCE is a specialist education provider focused on apprenticeships and professional training for the adult social care and early years sectors. From its homepage, BCE highlights that its team – from directors to assessors – have hands-on sector experience and understand the day‑to‑day challenges faced by care providers and early years settings. The organisation offers apprenticeships in adult care, early years and business, alongside accredited courses, advanced learner loan-funded programmes, and commissioning courses such as the Level 5 Certificate in the Principles of Commissioning for Wellbeing. BCE emphasises high achievement rates in English Functional Skills and end‑point assessments, and notes that many learners gain merit or distinction. The provider positions itself as a partner for employers wanting to develop their whole workforce with specialist skills and knowledge, including support with accessing appropriate funding options. BCE also states that it participates in the adult social care trailblazer group, helping to shape and understand adult care apprenticeships. The organisation stresses a learner‑centred approach, avoids tying employers into exclusivity contracts, and encourages employers to contact them to discuss tailored support and training solutions for their teams.
