Description for 2024/25


Aims
The module is designed to support the apprentices as they prepare for the Data Scientist End Point Assessment module. It enables the apprentices to apply learning, matched to the relevant knowledge, skills and behaviors outlined in the Level 6 Data Science Apprenticeship standard, to work-based projects. Additionally, the apprentices will have the opportunity to prepare for post-gateway requirements.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviors of a professional data scientist in a real-work environment to achieve real-work objectives: 1,4
Demonstrate the skills and behaviours required to plan and execute a work-based data science project, including an evaluation of processes followed with recommendations for future activities: 2
Pass a multiple choice knowledge test to demonstrate understanding of the full data science life cycle and the technologies that gather, store, process, analyze, model, visualise and evaluate data: 3

Study hours

10 hours scheduled lectures
24 hours structured writing sessions
4 hours of tutorial to review progress
2 x 90 minute mock knowledge tests
200 hours work-based project, portfolio and report preparation. and revision for knowledge test

School Rules

None
