Programme overview
What this programme does
Whether you are in the classroom, supporting students, or leading a team, this Level 3 Digital Support Technician apprenticeship helps you get more from the Microsoft tools you already use. You will learn how to solve everyday tech issues, organise and protect data, and use tools like Teams, OneDrive and Power Automate to save time and reduce admin. With a focus on safe, responsible use of AI, you will explore how to streamline tasks and improve communication with staff, students and parents.
Delivery format
A blended learning approach including 11 live sessions with your cohort over 12 months, with complementary self-paced, asynchronous modules. Monthly one-to-one meetings with your coach develop your understanding of the apprenticeship knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs), tailored to your needs. The programme is delivered through flexible off-the-job hours: 40% of that time is provided by Primary Goal through remote training sessions, one-to-one coaching, eLearning courses and work-based projects. The other 60% covers workplace activities such as attending meetings, CPD, conferences and industry events, and shadowing. All of these activities relate directly to the Microsoft 365 Education programme.
Final assessment
Assessment Method 1 is a short project write-up, based on a four-week work-based project, with a presentation and a 30 minute question and answer session. Assessment Method 2 is a professional discussion demonstrating applied knowledge and skills, underpinned by a portfolio of evidence. Successful completion leads to an industry-recognised qualification.
