L4 Data Analyst Review

My role within Lloyds Banking Group is a Client experience insight and data analyst. This involves working primarily on client data that comes in through a platform on Qualtrics. Client data can come from a multitude of sources. Some key ones include surveys that we send out, questionnares and online webpages.

Over the coure of the apprenticeship I have learnt a vast range of new skills and this has been achieved through the mandatory standard provided to me by my apprenticeship provider. This standard includes a checklist of a number of skills that need to be ahcieved throughout the course of the apprenticeship through the use of work based projects

Throughout the whole duration of my apprenticeship I have thoroughly enjoyed every step of the journey! At the very beginning, I was given more than enough support, both with my employer and training provider. Every apprentice is assigned an in-work mentor and a learning mentor. This combination has been brilliant as it meant I could refer to someone for support in relation to both my employment and learning

The l4 data analyst programme that I have been on has been very well structured. We were given a timetable of all the mandatory courses we needed to complete throughout the apprenticeship journey and also given a list of all mandatory training that needed to be complete prior. Any support needed would be proivded by our learning mentor.

My employer has been fantastic in providing the right support when needed at thye right time. Having an in work mentor assigned to me was crucial is having that first point of contact who knew how to resolve any issues or explain aspects of work project. I found this really helpful

With regards to support from my training provider, regular catch up meetings were booked in so that my performance over the apprenticehsipo could be monitored and if there was anything I needed to improve on these meetings helped me identify that as well as speak about what was going really well

My training from the apprenticeship has definitely helped me perform better at the role at work as with training you get to learn how to use certain software to produce data outputs. before the apprenticeship I had very basic knowledge of excel, however now I am able to produce statistical data models proficiently.

I am aware that there are a range of extra curricular activities that are currently available at work such as charity volunteering and homeless shelter aid. However, I have not yet been involved in these as I am already committed to extra curricular clubs outside of work. This however is really good to see at work

Yes

Since working at Lloyds, I have really excelled with my career. I constantly have colleagues around me who push me to do better and will also lend their hand when I face any issues. Colleagues are also very readily willining to get me onboard new projects and learn new skills

The best tip that I can give is to just simply be yourself. If you have a genuine passion for whichever apprenticeship subject you apply for and are ready to excel your career, then Lloyds bank is the place for you. You will recieve endless support around you and will always be given opportunites to grow
