Apprenticeships

Digital apprenticeships

An apprenticeship is a real, paid job. You work for an employer and train with us at the same time, and come out with a nationally recognised qualification and the experience to go with it.

The standards

The Information Communications Technician

One standard for now. Organisations rely on their systems in every part of what they do, and this is the role that installs them, supports the people using them, and keeps them running.

For employers

How it actually works

Six steps, from the first conversation to somebody else marking the result. It is the same on every apprenticeship we run.

1

We help you write the role

Your Employer Relationship Officer checks the job genuinely covers the standard before anyone signs anything.

2

We help you recruit

Advertise the vacancy through us, or enrol a member of staff you already have.

3

Your apprentice gets a named tutor

A person, who visits your workplace, and who you can email directly.

4

Training runs around the job

Timetabled teaching plus work completed in post, on a schedule you have from day one.

5

A review every 8 to 10 weeks

You, your apprentice and the tutor. Half an hour. Progress, targets, and anything getting in the way.

6

Somebody else marks the result

An independent end-point assessment, by an organisation with no connection to us or to you.
