COURSE

OVERVIEW

*Please note: We can only accept applications from individuals who have already completed Year 11 (or equivalent), as this course begins before September 2026. If you have not yet finished Year 11, please apply for September 2026 entry instead. This apprenticeship will equip you with all the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to become a Business Analyst. Business Analysts document business problems and user needs, and create solution requirements in relation to people, processes and IT that align to best practice, presenting them in a meaningful and logical way appropriate to the audience. Business Analysts manage stakeholder relationships, ensuring collaboration between business and technical stakeholders.
This apprenticeship takes 18 months and you will spend four days a week at work and one day a week in college, either at our Huddersfield Centre or online. Throughout the 18 months, you will cover a range of topics including business analysis fundamentals, investigation techniques, business process modelling, requirements engineering and management, data modelling, gap analysis, business acceptance, business impact assessment and stakeholder analysis and management.
Throughout your apprenticeship, you will have regular progress reviews with your employer and college tutor to ensure that you are progressing on the programme and get any extra support you may require.

Companies will set their own individual entry requirements. However, as this is a level 4 apprenticeship, students will be expected to have appropriate level 3 qualifications, either a BTEC Extended Diploma, A Levels or a level 3 apprenticeship. Ideally the suitable candidate will hold GCSE English and maths grade 4/C or above. To start your apprenticeship you must have secured employment that the college has agreed is suitable.
When you have completed all compulsory elements of the course you will begin to prepare for your End-Point Assessment (EPA). You will submit a project proposal that will be a relevant and defined piece of work that has a real business benefit, and you will engage in a professional discussion based on a portfolio of evidence you have compiled.
