Apprenticeship is a training and on-the-job application model where students learn the entire program online combined with competency training from experts. After achieving competency standards according to the framework issued by the European government, candidates are awarded the equivalent Master’s degree.
The Apprenticeship BBA program does not follow traditional classroom and exam methods. Instead, it adopts a competency-based approach where students demonstrate their applied skills in their actual work, guided by local training experts.
Upon completing the entire competency framework issued by the European government, candidates are recognized at Level 6 (Bachelor Level) and awarded a dual degree – BBA from VERN’ University Croatia and a Bachelor of Science in Organization (BSc in Organization) from SIMI University Switzerland.
The program is implemented with the London School of Health and Wellness (LSHW) and SIMI University Switzerland. Both organizations are accredited and recognized reputable institutions:

To guide and accompany students in applying their competencies, they receive competency training from local experts.
Optional additional training by local coaching experts ensures that students maintain their academic knowledge from online lectures and enhance their practical application skills in the workplace.
