I've learnt the foundations to numerous actuarial techniques in the pensions industry, alongside a learning path in the valuations process, complimented by business foundations.

A lot! There's a whole line of training scheduled to walk you through the foundations of the business giving you an idea of what lies ahead too.

Yes, constant, with the first two days of the apprenticeship being in-person training days with everyone in the same cohort (across the business and within your line of industry).
