Marketing has become essential to the success of any modern business. Building an efficient, knowledgeable team and providing ambitious individuals with growth opportunities within the industry is crucial.
Many employers now understand they don’t need to recruit experienced professionals to bring marketing expertise into their business. Likewise, talented individuals recognize the advantages of launching their careers through apprenticeships. These factors have inspired the development of our comprehensive Level 4 Marketing apprenticeship programme.
Our Marketing apprenticeships enable talented individuals to advance their careers within an organization while offering employers a cost-effective solution to hiring challenges. Equivalent to a first-year undergraduate degree qualification, the Level 4 Marketing Executive apprenticeship allows apprentices to gain valuable industry experience and practical knowledge. The programme provides employers with skilled professionals who can drive change and shape their business’s future.
This Marketing Executive apprenticeship is ideal for those with some marketing experience looking to enhance their strategy, project management, and team leadership skills to deliver effective marketing plans. It’s also perfect for individuals with limited experience who are seeking a career change. For employers, the benefits of apprenticeships are substantial, offering solutions to talent acquisition challenges, skills shortages, and more.
Sign Up And Induction - Begin your Marketing Executive journey with a comprehensive induction.
The first step in your apprenticeship journey involves completing the application process, meeting with your employer and training provider, and attending orientation sessions. During this stage, we'll establish your Individual Learning Plan, assess your current skills and knowledge, and introduce you to the key tools and platforms you'll use throughout your apprenticeship. You'll also meet your dedicated tutor who will support you throughout your learning journey.
Learning And Development - Develop essential Marketing Executive skills through workplace practice and structured learning.
This is the main training phase of your apprenticeship, where you'll develop the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours required to become a successful Marketing Executive. You'll spend 80% of your time applying your learning in the workplace, supported by regular check ins and lessons from your tutors. The remaining 20% is dedicated to off-the-job training through online learning modules, workshops and practical assignments. You'll build a diverse portfolio of content while receiving ongoing feedback and support.
EPA Preparation And Gateway - Prepare thoroughly for your assessment with expert guidance and practice.
As you approach the end of your training, we'll focus on preparing you for your End-Point Assessment (EPA). This includes finalising your portfolio of evidence, practising presentation skills, and ensuring you're confident with all aspects of the assessment process. Your employer and training provider will work together to determine when you're ready to enter the Gateway—the point at which all training is complete and you're prepared to undertake your EPA.
End-Point Assessment And Graduation - Demonstrate your skills through assessment and celebrate your achievement.
The final stage is your End-Point Assessment, conducted by an independent assessment organisation. You'll complete a project evaluation report, deliver a presentation with Q&A, and participate in a professional discussion. Upon successful completion, you'll graduate with your Marketing Executive qualification. Your achievement opens doors to career progression and opportunities.
