Software Developer

Apprenticeships

A Software Developer Apprenticeship is a key progression toward becoming a Software Developer. This will require the dedication of 18-24 months of a learner's time, which should be considered when you apply.

A Software Development Apprenticeship will see you working for a business, performing Software Development services for them such as building software components, interpreting design requirements and implementing code.

As well as dedicated days of learning at the college, you are effectively being taught how to be a Software Developer through practical experience in the workplace and through lessons provided by the college by tutors.

As an Apprentice, you are paid for the work you are doing and how much is dependent on your employer.

Typical Jobs you can apply for:

• Application Developer

• Mobile application developer

• Software developer

• Web developer

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.
