    Discover more about BCS apprenticeships

    As the industry body for IT professionals, we support your apprenticeship training with an exclusive membership and professional development package. Taking up Associate (AMBCS) membership at the very start of your apprenticeship puts you in touch with the wider professional IT community and helpful learning resources to boost your training.

    Digital apprenticeships are fully aligned with BCS membership and professional registration which means that as soon as you pass your apprenticeship, you gain entry to the RITTech register of IT professionals - confirming the level of competence you now bring to the workplace.

    You have to be 16 or over to become an apprentice but there’s no upper age limit. Even if you’ve been working in a company for a while, you can become an apprentice as long as you have a genuine training need. Most digital apprenticeships programmes last between 12-24 months.

    Technology has already transformed the world we live in and as a digital professional you’ll continue to shape its future. A digital apprenticeship sets you on an exciting and rewarding career path at industry’s cutting edge. You will gain the skills you need while working in the industry you are passionate about, along with meeting likeminded IT professionals.

    There are wide range of standards at different levels from the following five areas to choose from:
    • Hardware, network, cloud and infrastructure
    • Cyber security
    • Software Development
    • Analyst
    • Digital Marketing

    Unpack the tech jargon

    The IT industry has its fair share of technical terms, acronyms and jargon. Once you’re in the job, you’ll soon get to know what they all mean. But why not give yourself a head start by doing a little research before you reach the workplace — you may even get the chance to impress at interview stage with your ‘inside knowledge’.
