- You would be required to commit 20% of your paid work time to learning, completing BA tasks and portfolio documentation related to a Business Analyst role and apprenticeship. For example, if you worked 40hrs a week this would equate to 8 hrs a week over a 15 month period. If you worked less than 5 days a week this time would be pro-rated.
- At the time of enrollment onto the Apprenticeship it is expected that activities related to a Business Analysis would be part of your normal job role and responsibilities, but by embarking on this learning journey it will enable you to spend 20% of your time on BA related learning, projects and tasks that will be of direct value to your company.
- All tasks related to the 20% must be tracked and eligible to successfully pass the apprenticeship. The 20% of the job tasks need be during working hours and they can include:
- Theory – such as lectures, role playing, online learning, simulation exercises or product training.
- Practical Training – apprentices taking part in activities they wouldn’t usually do during the week such as shadowing, mentoring, industry visits or competitions.
- Learning support and time spent writing assignments
- Creating a business project
- Attending meetings which they would not normally attend to get an insight into other areas of the business and see how this impacts their part.
- As a formal accredited course it is essential that learners are committed to attending training sessions, completing the online learning and creating portfolio documentation ready for assessment to successfully pass the course.
