How long is the course?

Your apprenticeship does not last for a fixed length of time. It ends when all necessary components are completed, usually around 12 months. The pace of your progress will depend very much upon your commitment.

How will I be assessed?

Some modules can be assessed in the workplace, where your current job role allows. Some modules will mean you take City & Guilds assignments by attending a college learning centre on day release.

Your apprenticeship can also be a mixture of both work placed assessment and City & Guilds assignments if appropriate.

Your assessor will visit you once every two to three weeks for one to one support and assessment or you will attend college for one day a week. Alternatively you could have a combination of both scenarios.

Functional skills can be either assessed in the workplace, or if you are attending college, you may also do your functional skills on the same day.

What will I study?

As part of your apprenticeship you will cover the following:

· City & Guilds 7574 Level 2 ITQ Diploma

· City & Guilds Functional skills in
Literacy & Numeracy at Level 1

· Employment Rights & Responsibilities

What can I go on to study?

Following on from the Level 2 there is the opportunity for progression onto an Advanced Apprenticeship at Level 3 and the potential to work in a supervisory role.

The skills and knowledge you will acquire are highly transferable and will give you the best opportunity to develop a career in numerous IT related sectors.

How do I apply?

Before you can apply for this apprenticeship course you must already have found an employer who has agreed to take you on as an apprentice.
