Data Analyst Apprenticeship

About the Apprenticeship: Pringle PCS' Data Analyst Level 4 apprenticeship programme will provide apprentices with the necessary capabilities and knowledge of data analytics.

They will be able to study, organise and manipulate data in order to provide the highest level of support solutions to businesses.

The programme will be delivered by a professional data analyst, who has developed, supported and organised complex databases for large corporations such as Nissan and Renault.

We provide this excellent level of service and support for apprentices throughout the duration of the programme, through hands-on learning, workshops and online learning.
