Apprenticeships

A Digital Community Manager Apprenticeship is the next progression into becoming a Digital Community Manager from the Traineeship. This will require the dedication of 18-24months of a learner's time, which should be considered when you apply.

A Digital Community Manager Apprenticeship will see you working for a business, performing Digital Community Manager services for them such as facilitating and instigating direct communication online between the end user or customer and the organisation. This is achieved through the management of online media channels and delivering activities such as releasing information, updates and responding to questions from the community.

Furthermore, you will have dedicated days of learning at the college, you are effectively being taught how to be a Digital Community Manager through practical experience in the work place 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:

• Community manager

• Consumer experience representative

• Games community manager

As this is a level 4 Apprenticeship, you are able to learn while you earn and can negotiate your wage up to £18,000 per year.

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.
