Learners must be in a role that enables them to create data sets (usually in Excel) and manipulate data using formulas, v look ups etc. and then convert this data into visual displays and dashboards. Entry requirements:

- The employee must be aged 16 or above (there is no upper age limit)
- The employee can work full or part time hours
- The employee works for a company in England

There are no limits to the number of apprenticeships that can be done by an individual. If an employee takes on new responsibilities or moves into a new occupational area, that requires new knowledge and skill, then they can commence a new Apprenticeship (even if the level is lower or the same as the previous apprenticeship done).
Learners aged 19 + are no longer required to study Maths and English (regardless of previous grades), but do have the option to study and sit these additional qualifications, if they want to (The government cover the full cost to do this). Learners who are aged 16-18 must do Maths and English Functional Skills as part of their Apprenticeship (only if they do not already have a minimum grade C ‘O’ Level, or grade 4 GCSE or equivalent).
