Off-the-Job Training
Off-the-job (OTJ) training is a mandatory part of all apprenticeships funded by the Department for Education. Each apprenticeship standard has a set number of OTJ training hours that must be planned and completed. If you have no prior learning and your apprenticeship duration and funding have not been reduced, you are expected to complete the full number of OTJ hours as specified in the standard.
There is no requirement to increase OTJ hours for part-time apprentices. This includes those working less than 30 hours per week or on zero-hour contracts. The training must be realistic and aligned with the standard’s set requirements.
OTJ training takes place during your normal working hours and involves learning activities that are directly related to your apprenticeship. This could include one-to-one sessions with a tutor, preparing for assessments, role-playing workplace scenarios, attending training sessions or webinars on key industry topics and individual study time to complete coursework.

As part of your qualification, you will complete an End-Point Assessment (EPA) to demonstrate the skills, knowledge and behaviours you have developed through our programme. You can achieve either a Pass, Merit or Distinction based on your final grade.
For the Higher Apprenticeship in Data Analyst, the EPA consists of the following:
Project Report
As part of your end point assessment, you will complete a data analysis project for your business, tailored to your business’ needs. You will need to complete a final report as an overview of your project, and the findings of your data analysis. This project is a showcase to present your analytical skills and your knowledge of analysis methods. Once your report has been submitted, you will then complete a 40 minute presentation of your project and the findings from your report to the independent end point assessor.
Professional Discussion
After completing your observation, the independent assessor will conduct a professional discussion to further discuss your skills and development over the course of your apprenticeship. This discussion will be completed remotely over the phone, consisting of at least 10 open questions to gauge your knowledge, and understanding, of data analysis and help you further showcase what you have learned throughout the apprenticeship.
