Higher and Degree Apprenticeships / Available Apprenticeships / Data Analytics

About the course

This apprenticeship is designed for individuals currently employed who are looking to either transition into a data analysis career or upskill in this in-demand field.  The program anticipates participants remaining in full-time employment with their current employer upon successful completion.  By equipping apprentices with the necessary skillset, the program opens doors to a wide range of data-related careers across various industries, both public and private. This includes opportunities not just in typical data analyst roles but also in areas like data management, systems analysis, project management, and even business consultancy.

The final degree award for this course is: (Level 4) Data Analyst Apprenticeship Degree, and CertHE Data Related Studies: (120 level 4 credits).

Where a student does not successfully take and pass the EPA, they can still be awarded a CertHE Data Related Studies certificate.
