Data Analyst apprentices are taught how to collect, organise and study data to provide business insight. They are typically involved with managing, cleansing, abstracting and aggregating data, and conducting a range of analytical studies on that data. They'll understand data structures, database systems and procedures and the range of analytical tools used to undertake a range of different types of analyses.
Successful Data Analyst apprentices go on into roles such as a Data Analyst, Data Manager, Data Scientist, Data Modeller, Data Architect and a Data Engineer.
Upon completion of their Data Analyst apprenticeship, individuals will be able to:

This is a level 4 apprenticeship.
This apprenticeship is recognised for entry onto the register of IT technicians confirming SFIA level 3 professional competence and those completing the apprenticeship are eligible to apply for registration.
The duration of this Firebrand apprenticeship is 16 months. Because this period involves both training and the final End Point Assessment (some of which must be carried out in the workplace), employers need to ensure the apprentice’s contract covers the full programme duration.
Once apprentices have completed their apprenticeship they are officially recognised by the British Computer Society (BCS) for entry onto the Register of IT Technicians, confirming SFIA level 3 professional competence.
Firebrand’s apprenticeship programme covers all mandatory knowledge and skills outlined in the apprenticeship standard. Every Firebrand apprentice attends a suite of market-leading training programmes, to cover knowledge required from the apprenticeship standard. This training is then fleshed out through a package of selected online learning, which also allows apprentices to explore any topics of particular interest/importance to them in greater depth.
Apprentices receive a range of market-leading training as part of their qualification – typically between three and five courses per apprenticeship - giving them fundamental skills at speed.
We'll deliver all the knowledge apprentices need to learn for each knowledge module in the Standard through our Lecture | Lab | Review delivery. Apprentices then attend a Syllabus Review Session to cover the knowledge content covered in the apprenticeship standard.
Upon completion of this Knowledge Module, Data Analyst apprentices will:
