Group Horizon is advocating the Data Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship as an ideal starting point in preparation for a fulfilling career in data management.

Data technicians are found in all industry sectors where data is generated or processed, including finance, retail, education, health, media, manufacturing and hospitality. The job often entails sourcing, formatting and presenting data for analysis, communicating outcomes appropriate to an audience, analysing structured and unstructured data to support business outcomes and blending data from multiple sources.

Designed to fulfil the growing demand for data management expertise, the Data Technician Level 3 apprenticeship specifically focuses on training and developing data technicians who can support the day-to-day data needs of a business. It is a qualification that teaches learners how to utilise a wide variety of tools and techniques to manage and analyse data, both internally and externally.

This represents an excellent foundation qualification, acting as the initial step towards a rewarding data career and attracting learners who may not have an existing data-based qualification. The curriculum provides a solid grounding in the current data management tools and techniques required to enable an individual to start their data career and develop their skills.

The apprenticeship reflects a number of different areas focused on data management, including types of data, data tool, data architecture, data quality, data analysis techniques and how to communicate data and results effectively.

This course will also allow learners to further their development within a specialism such as data analytics, eventually progressing onto the Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship.

Group Horizon’s Data Analyst Apprenticeship Level 4 will enable learners to take this next step and has been designed for new and existing employees who wish to progress and develop their skills through a balance of technical training and on the job activities.
