Apprenticeship
The Digital Support Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship
The Digital Support Technician apprenticeship develops the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to deliver effective digital support across a range of systems, platforms, and user needs. It is suited to individuals working in IT support, helpdesk, or digital enablement roles across public, private, and charitable sector organisations.
What does Digital Support Technician assessment involve?
The apprenticeship assessment for the Digital Support Technician standard is made up of two components.
Project report with presentation and questioning
After gateway, apprentices produce a 1,500-word report on a real business problem or improvement activity, submitted to progress minded by week 4 of the EPA period. This is followed by a 15-minute presentation and 30 minutes of questioning delivered via Microsoft Teams, exploring understanding of the project and competence against the required knowledge, skills, and behaviours.
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 how the apprentice applied digital support skills and behaviours in practice, 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.

Process
Our process - we make EPA easy
Step 1
We start with open conversations about your delivery, employers, and standards. This helps us understand your context, answer any questions, and see if we are a good fit.
Step 2
We help delivery teams interpret assessment plans and prepare their apprentices. Delivery toolkits and guides provide top tips, example questions, and practical readiness support.
Step 3
Apprentices schedule their assessment in our booking portal, showing live assessor availability. This reduces admin and email back and forth.
Step 4
Assessors take time to get to know the apprentice and their role. Questions are contextualised to their workplace and experience, with a calm, supportive, and friendly approach.
Step 5
Constructive feedback is provided in all cases, highlighting strengths and areas for development so apprentices know how to progress, whatever the outcome.
