TOPRA Level 7 Regulatory Affairs Specialist Apprenticeship programme

The TOPRA Regulatory Affairs Specialist Apprenticeship offers a pathway for regulatory affairs professionals looking to advance their careers. 

There are five great reasons why you should apply:

1. Real-world experience and in-demand skills 
The apprenticeship is a work-based programme, combining practical experience and structured training, which means that you are applying what is learnt in your day-to-day work. 

2. Earn while you learn 
Apprentices are paid for the work they do, while avoiding significant student loan fees. Employers can take advantage of the apprenticeship levy scheme for Level 7 apprenticeships while still available.

3. Accelerated career progression 
The programme is equivalent to an MSc in Regulatory Affairs, which will enable you to apply for higher-level positions. If you are a TOPRA member, you will also be able to apply for Registered Scientist (RSCi) status via a shortened route.

4. Expert mentorship and networking 
Training is delivered by experts from industry and regulatory authorities, providing you with valuable insights and diverse perspectives.

5. Comprehensive and high-quality training 
We have been providing regulatory affairs training for over 40 years, and our apprenticeship and its structured curriculum was rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2024. Read the full Ofsted report to find out more about our expert teaching and professional network.
