Data Analyst Apprenticeship

This Apprenticeship is for those already in a Data Analyst role, but would like to gain further knowledge on how and what to analyse, as well as understanding the output of statistical packages. The programming language R! features heavily, with Python and PowerBI used. Learners have a good grounding in mathematics, preferably with experience in basic stats.

Topics include:

• Data Cleansing
• Sourcing Data
• GDPR and regulations
• Formatting data
• Basic Statistics
• Publishing Data
• Visualisations
• Advanced Statistics

Apprentices will need to be working towards and achieve the following job role requirements before their End Point Assessment (EPA):

• Collect, compile and, if needed, cleanse data
• Identify, analyse, and interpret trends or patterns in data sets
• Draw conclusions and recommend an appropriate response, offer guidance or interpretation to aid understanding of the data
• Provide regular reports and analysis

Example job roles include: Data Scientist/Business Analysts/Database Professional/Media Planner/Finance Analyst/Risk Assessor/Credit Analyst/Actuary/Insurance Underwriting Analyst/Corporate Strategist.

Next steps: The Apprenticeship can lead to employment in businesses and organisations that rely on data to improve themselves, such as consultancies, finance and insurance firms, through to marketing and advertising agencies. You can also consider continuing your studies with the Level 6 Data Scientist Apprenticeship.

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you ideally need GCSEs at grade C/5 or equivalent in English and Maths. It would be desirable to have Level 3 Maths through qualifications or work experience. Further entry requirements will be determined by the employer. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

Apprentices have access to all facilities across College. These include the College Learning Resource Centres (LRCs) and the College Gym.
