Apprenticeship
The Data Analyst Level 4 Apprenticeship
The Data Analyst apprenticeship develops the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to analyse complex datasets, identify trends, and communicate findings clearly to a range of stakeholders. It is suited to individuals working in data, insight, or business intelligence roles across public, private, and charitable sector organisations.
What does the Data Analyst assessment involve?
The apprenticeship assessment for the Data Analyst standard is made up of two components.
Project with presentation and questioning
After gateway, apprentices complete a work-based data analysis project addressing a real business need, submitting a report of up to 3,500 words within 8 weeks of the EPA start date. This is followed by a presentation and questioning session where the apprentice covers the main aspects of the project, analysis, outcomes, and business recommendations.
Professional discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence
A structured 60-minute professional discussion delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams. The assessor uses planned and follow-up questions to explore the apprentice's analytical approach and decision-making, underpinned by a portfolio of real work from the apprenticeship. At progress minded, we guide all parties through the process clearly and calmly, so there are no surprises at the end.
