On entry, you will complete an initial assessment for English & maths and must achieve a minimum of Level 1 to access this apprenticeship.

Apprentices without level 2 English and maths will need to achieve this level prior to taking the end-point assessment. For those with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) or a legacy statement, the apprenticeship’s English and maths minimum requirement is Entry Level 3. A British Sign Language (BSL) qualification is an alternative to the English qualification for those whose primary language is BSL.

You will be working entirely in the workplace, and assigned an apprenticeship trainer who will work with you in conjunction with your employer to help you gain the skills, knowledge and behaviour’s required in preparation to undertake an end point assessment with an external assessor.

You will also undertake level 2 Functional skills in English and maths if you have not already achieved this level in Functional Skills or at GCSE, which will be delivered at College.

After completing this apprenticeship you could progress into more senior marketing roles, or undertake higher-level marketing apprenticeships.

As a City of Bristol College apprentice, you may incur additional costs on your apprenticeship. For example, it is likely you may need to pay for travel and stationery, and for some apprenticeships you may need to purchase specialist equipment.
