IT Solutions Technician

Apprenticeships

An IT Solutions Technician Apprenticeship is an effective way to become a IT Solutions Technician. The apprenticeship will require the dedication of 15-18 months of a learner's time, which should be considered when you apply.

An IT Solutions Technician Apprenticeship will see you working for a business, performing Solutions Technician services for them such as implementing and maintaining complete IT solutions, including their hardware infrastructure (such as servers and networks) and software (such as operating systems, middleware, and applications). As well as applying a professional methodology or framework to gather and analyse requirements; design, develop, test, and implement IT solutions and provide ongoing support both directly to end users and for the underlying IT services.

You will also have dedicated days of learning at the college, being effectively taught how to be a software developer through practical work experience and through lessons provided at the college by tutors.

As an apprentice, you will be paid a competitive salary for the work you are doing.

One-to-one Support

You will have a Skills Coach (SC) and a Digital Programme Coordinator (DPC) assigned to support you throughout your apprenticeship.

DPC will contact you every other week to discuss your progress about Knowledge module training progress to check whether you are understanding the training and also discuss about your work placement opportunities to gather evidence for your Summative portfolio.

The Skill coach will work with you to develop your portfolio of evidence for End Point Assessment. He / She will support you to gather evidence for various workplace projects.

Both will support your employer (Technical line manager) to complete your Employer Reference, a document which highlights key competency and behaviours you have demonstrated for the final assessment as part of the End Point Assessment.

In every one-to-one session, we will set up an action plan with SMART targets for you to complete, so that you can progress your apprenticeship smoothly and achieve your apprenticeship as LVC planned.
