Overview

The Data Analyst Apprenticeship equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to collect, interpret, and analyse data to support informed decision-making across a wide range of industries and business functions. Suitable for organisations in both the public and private sectors, the apprenticeship develops the ability to transform data into meaningful insights that help improve performance, solve business challenges, and support strategic objectives.

Our expectation is that all Apprentices should already possess English and Mathematics to a GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent. However, we will consider applicants without these grades subject to an initial assessment with one of the Apprenticeship Team. A Level 3 qualification in a similar sector or significant experience is also required for this qualification.

Throughout the apprenticeship, individuals learn how to gather requirements, collect and prepare data, apply analytical techniques, and present findings in a clear and accessible way for a variety of audiences. They gain experience working with data from different sources, using industry-standard tools and technologies to identify trends, answer business questions, and provide evidence-based recommendations. Whether supporting functions such as finance, marketing, human resources, operations, or customer services, apprentices develop the confidence to use data to drive continuous improvement and organisational success. Working collaboratively with colleagues, stakeholders, and clients, apprentices build strong technical, communication, and problem-solving skills while developing an understanding of data governance, security, and compliance. They learn to work responsibly within organisational data policies and relevant legislation, ensuring data is managed safely and ethically. As data and technology continue to evolve, the apprenticeship also encourages continuous professional development, enabling apprentices to stay up to date with emerging analytical tools, technologies, and industry best practice. 24 months with a typical three month assessment period, no college release day required. Great progressional route from Data Technician. Digital route.

Apprentices are taught via a mix of classroom delivery, work-based learning/assessment and vocational “on and off the job training”.

Knowledge test, portfolio based interview and project/improvement presentation.

On completion, you can progress in industry or onto a degree Apprenticeship.

Opportunities may exist to gain professional accreditation in your chosen field post completion of the qualification. Your Assessor will support you with information on gaining professional accreditation. As we work with Apprentices that are already employed, if you attend our day release programmes you will mix with a diverse range of businesses with Apprentices in the same sector.


My time at the college was definitely life changing, I have learnt a lot of new skills, and obviously it’s a completely new experience. The support was great, there was always people there to help and try make it as easy as they can for you. The college is really fantastic, it has helped me on the way to get to what I want to achieve within my career goals.

Erin Morgan, BTEC student

Everyone at the College was really helpful, and there’s lots of facilities, meaning it’s very easy to get your work done on time, and get good grades. The teaching and support was excellent, they were always on top of it, and made sure you got work done on time and you were challenged. Everyone is friendly and its really diverse, meaning you can get involved in lots of different things.
