Apprenticeship
The IT Solutions Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship
The IT Solutions Technician apprenticeship develops the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to design and implement technology solutions that address real business problems. It is suited to individuals working in IT support, development, or solutions roles across public, private, and charitable sector organisations.
What does the IT Solutions Technician assessment involve?
The apprenticeship assessment for the IT Solutions Technician standard is made up of two components.
Project report with presentation and questioning
After gateway, apprentices produce a 2,000-word project report based on one or two projects completed during their apprenticeship, submitted by week 4 of the EPA period. This is followed by a 20-minute presentation and 40 minutes of questioning delivered via Microsoft Teams, covering the plan, design, build, test, deploy, and maintain themes of their work.
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 IT solutions 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.
