Data Analyst Degree Apprentice Review

Looking into data and anomalies, contacting relevant SMEs regarding accuracy. Reporting on the data via graphs and statistics and looking into queries and automation methods to improve efficiency of the reports and data.

I have developed my technical and Excel skills and am now very proficient with Excel and Power Queries. I have developed a range of Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours, including project management skills, data management skills, business competencies, and software development skills.

I enjoy the programme, however, the relevancy of some University modules can be questioned.

The programme is well structured, however, as the first cohort at our branch, the organisation is often last minute.

We receive a lot of support from the employer, with placement, training and with wellbeing.

We receive support, however, it is not always the most useful, depending on Module. There is a lot of independent study, as opposed to teaching, and the skills coach interaction is limited.

The qualification is helpful in areas, however, often unrelated to our business unit. As we break into specialisms, i am hopeful it will become more centralised around data and will provide more relevancy.

There are often workshops or 'Away' days where they are professional working events. Within individual teams there are often social events, especially when somebody is due to leave the team. The LHAC also provides opportunity for social activities.

Yes

They are a reliable, fair company and always willing to support the apprentices in the business.

Ensure you work hard towards your prior qualifications and show enthusiasm for the subjects as it will help when applying into your role.
