Where digital skills meet real experience 

Digital apprenticeships build the skills needed for the future. From data technician and multi-channel marketer to AI and Automation, our apprenticeship standards equip learners with practical experience to succeed in a fast-moving digital world.  Through hands-on learning from experienced professionals in real work settings, apprentices develop practical, career-ready skills while earning a competitive salary. 

Whether you already deliver digital apprenticeships or are exploring your next steps, stay up to date with the latest developments, available standards and practical guidance across our digital apprenticeship offer. Explore what’s available now, what’s coming next, and how we can support you through change with confidence. 

As skills reforms reshape apprenticeships in England, we’re here to support you through change with clarity, consistency and confidence. Alongside this, we continue to deliver high-quality end-point assessments (EPAs), ensuring a reliable, consistent experience that supports successful outcomes for every apprentice and their employer.
