The Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation Practitioner apprenticeship develops practical automation and AI skills using industry‑leading tools. Apprentices learn to design and build workflows in Zapier and n8n, integrating systems, transforming data, and creating reliable multi‑step automations. They build strong AI capability through Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and OpenAI, using them to generate content, structure information, and create intelligent assistants. The programme also includes an elective module in Power Automate, enabling learners to extend automation into the Microsoft ecosystem. Across the curriculum, apprentices gain hands‑on experience, real‑world problem‑solving skills, and the confidence to deliver automation and AI solutions that add measurable value.
At the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll complete an End‑Point Assessment (EPA). This is like your final set of tests to show you can do the job. It’s independent, meaning someone outside your training provider will assess you.
