Content Creator Apprenticeship

Some of our Partners:

Overview

The Content Creator Apprenticeship (Level 3) is an ideal career progression route into the Digital Marketing and Content Creation industry, or for those already working within the sector. It will take approximately 15 – 21 months to complete, and is equivalent to two A-levels. Typical job roles associated with the programme include Content Assistant, Content Creator, Content Producer and many more.

There are no standardised eligibility criteria for this qualification. This means the individual employer will decide if a candidate is suitable.

Content Creator Apprenticeship Features

Throughout the apprenticeship you’ll gain the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed for your chosen role and industry. To help you with this, you can expect to study the following subject areas:

  • Developing Visual and Audio Content
  • Collaboration
  • Manage Online Content
  • Evaluation
  • Developing Written Content
  • Brand Strategy and Objectives
  • Planning and Budgeting

During your apprenticeship you will gather evidence as part of a portfolio to demonstrate your knowledge, skills and behaviours.

This will include:

  • Completion of workbooks and knowledge questions.
  • Virtual observations, carried out in line with data protection and GDPR requirements.
  • Recorded professional discussions to capture reflective learning and understanding.
  • Witness testimonies from managers to verify on-the-job performance and competence.

Forget about lugging around all your work. The online iLearner e-portfolio system means all your work can be uploaded directly to your account and accessed wherever you go.

The system is easy to navigate and full guidance will be provided through our iLearner handbook and from your tutor through one-to-one support.

Off-the-Job Training

For 20% of your apprenticeship, you must have time away from your regular duties. This is to engage in training related to your post and programme. Known as ‘Off-the-Job Training’, this should take place at a time convenient for both you and your employer.

The qualification is delivered through a blended learning approach. You will be required to make time to see your tutor via remote or face-to-face sessions.

The sessions will take place roughly once per month, usually lasting around 2 hours. The duration of these can be extended for any additional learning or support you require. Your tutor will also provide support and guidance in between each learning session.

You should also expect to carry out self-study and learning as part of the Off-the-Job Training using your iLearner portfolio.

Functional Skills

Functional Skills maths and English are an essential part of many apprenticeship courses. Apprentices aged 16-18 who have not previously achieved GCSE Grade 4/C (or an equivalent qualification) are required to complete and achieve their Functional Skills qualifications. However, for adult apprentices (19+), Functional Skills are now optional and not a mandatory requirement for completing an apprenticeship. The decision is for the employer and the learner to decide whether to undertake these qualifications.

Benefits of completing Functional Skills:

  • Some higher-level roles and further qualifications require maths and English at Level 1 or 2. Completing Functional Skills can open doors to promotions and further education.
  • Strong communication and numerical skills are essential in most job roles, helping with tasks like report writing, budgeting, and problem-solving.
  • Functional Skills help with real-life tasks, such as managing finances, understanding contracts, and effective communication in personal and professional settings.
  • Functional Skills are designed to be practical and flexible, meaning they can be tailored to fit around your apprenticeship work.

The End-Point Assessment

As part of your Content Creator Apprenticeship, an End-Point Assessment (EPA) will be completed to demonstrate your development and growth. You can achieve either a Pass or Distinction based on your final grade.

Project/Campaign Report and Presentation

During the final 6 months of your apprenticeship, you will work towards completing a Work-Based Project or Campaign of your choosing. This Project must be one you have personally contributed to and developed content for. For the End-Point Assessment, you will complete both an Evaluation Report of the success of the Project and a Presentation with Questions and Answers. You will showcase the knowledge, skills, and behaviours you have learnt throughout your apprenticeship.

Professional Discussion

Following on from the Project Report and Presentation, you will conduct a Professional Discussion with a third-party independent assessor to establish further understanding of your knowledge and skills. This may cover a number of scenarios you may have encountered in your job role, and questions relating to the development of skills.
