This programme is principally aimed at experienced software engineers. Participants need to be in employment and their employer needs to be onboard with the process.
Please let us know you are interested in the remote version by stating your preference when starting your application.
This programme is funded by the Apprenticeship Levy. If your company is a levy payer, it comes straight out of levy funds. If your employer is not a levy payer, the training is heavily government subsidised, in which case the total cost to the employer for the whole year would be £1,100 (if this is too much for your company, we can reduce the cost to zero with a levy transfer).
Yes. Co-working is available at Dingley Place at no charge on the day of the workshop.
Yes. Participants in this programme need to be sponsored by their current employer.
There is no limit on enrolment. You can send as many of your team as would like to join us.
No. Funding rules require a separate line manager, which a one-person company cannot provide.
It is a constraint of government funding that the minimum length of an apprenticeship training is 12 months. But just as important, the changes now underway in the practice of software engineering is a continuous process. We plan to build a community of practice over the length of the training that participants will benefit from long after it is over.
It means that this programme can be funded out of the apprenticeship levy and that participants will gain a recognised vocational qualification at degree level (Level 6) at the end of the programme.
As well as studying for a minimum of 12 months, participants need to complete an oral exam and a project report and viva. For more information, see the machine learning engineer apprenticeship standard.
