What’s the job like?

Data analysts take data and translate the numbers into plain English – to help others make better (and important) business decisions.

You’ll collect, organise and study data – exploring it to find the hidden gems of crucial information. Then you’ll present it – either visually (in graphs or tables), in writing, or by talking it through. And you’ll make recommendations guided by what you find.

You’ll understand data structures – database systems and procedures – and use a whole range of analytical tools.

Data analysts work on tonnes of different projects – for different people (it could be for the management board of the company, or for a customer). And you can work in any industry – you’ll be in demand.

If you’re curious – analytical – a good communicator. Love maths and getting into the detail. This is for you.

What will I learn?

  • Collecting, migrating and interpreting data
  • Statistical analysis
  • Performance dashboards
  • Data visualisation
  • Presenting findings
  • Making recommendations

What qualifications will I get?

  • Data Analyst Level 4
  • BCS Level 4 Certificate in Data Analysis Tools
  • BCS Level 4 Certificate in Data Analysis Concepts

How long does the apprenticeship take?

18 months

What are my career prospects?

You could become a Data Analyst, Data Manager, Data Scientist, Data Modeller, Data Architect, or Data Engineer.

What’s my future salary potential?

£30,000 (Data Analyst – UK average, Glassdoor)
