This apprenticeship can often be used to upskill existing employees as well as support new recruits.

Apprenticeship Overview:

This standard focuses primarily on the planning, development, and creation of written, visual, audio and video content for use across a variety of platforms and channels, including social media, websites, and marketing campaigns.

It also covers supporting areas such as understanding marketing objectives, brand identity and guidelines, audience research, relevant laws and regulations, and selecting appropriate platforms and channels.

How Ginger Nut Deliver

Our training delivery is based on a remote, blended model of one-to-one sessions and small group online classroom sessions every 4 weeks, webinars, online courses and other learning resources such as videos, and additional individual support as required. This means that our learners have the guidance they need as well as the flexibility to learn around the requirements of their jobs. We find that this approach reduces disruption for the learners and their line managers giving everyone the best chance of benefitting from the training and completing the course.

Delivery of the standard is remote and is based around competency and knowledge units, consisting of introduction, training, personal study, completion and observation. To support learning, we utilise resources mapped to the apprenticeship, and learners are given access to LinkedIn Learning, Google, Hubspot, You Tube – Podcasts and Perlego, with bespoke channels designed to support their apprenticeship.

The standard is divided into core modules which are as follows:

Organisational Culture, Structure and Stakeholders
Marketing Laws and Regulations
Managing Social Media Channels
Branding
Marketing vs Advertising
Production Workflow
Copywriting
Graphic & Digital Design
Video Production
Video Editing

Assessment

Apprentices will complete an on-programme assessment for this standard. This assessment will consist of the following:

Portfolio with Questions and Answers – Month 6:
- Apprentices will build up a portfolio of work showcasing the development and implementation of the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours for the standard.
- They will then discuss their portfolio with the assessor to answer any questions and support the evidence they have provided.
Project with Interview – Month 6-13:
- The apprentice must complete a real-world project showcasing the development of their Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours. They will then have an interview with an assessor discussing their project and answering assessor questions.

At Gateway the employer will sign to confirm that all Behaviours required by the apprenticeship are met. This will be submitted alongside the completed assessments for an evidence review and then a grade will be released.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ginger Nut are an amazing training provider. I learnt so much during the last year and half with the Business admin course. The content and tools provided was very insightful and helpful. My tutor, Zoe, supported me through the entire course, gave me feedback on multiple different areas and she was always available to help with anything I was unsure of.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Ginger Nut training to anyone looking to start an apprenticeship

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just received the results of my Level 4 Associate Project Management apprenticeship and I’m proud to say that I achieved the highest possible grade of Distinction!

Working towards this qualification, whilst doing the day job has been no easy feat but has been incredibly rewarding. Not only have I closed this chapter as a newly qualified Project Manager, but I've also gained a newfound confidence that I will carry with me wherever my future leads me!

I have never really conformed to the traditional academic style of learning and had always been put off pursuing any further education beyond what I absolutely had to do. However, having a great teacher who genuinely cared about the subject and the success of their students truly made the whole experience a breeze. A huge thank you to Jag at Ginger Nut Training ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ginger Nut Training are an amazing company. Since day one, I have been supported fully from the onboarding process to my day to day duties. My tutor is Anna, and I have to say having someone as thoughtful and genuinely interested in my progression as she is really boosts your motivation to do well and push yourself to achieve the best you can at everything. The webinars run by other tutors are also fantastic, thought-provoking and make a great way to keep up with recent happenings across several industries.

Keep up the brilliant work, everyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Communication is key and Ginger Nut are very good at it!
Plenty of help is on offer and although the emails and information can feel a little overwhelming at first, you soon get into the hang of dealing with it. The only barrier is your own motivation, but that's part of distance learning; as long as your employer gives you the time to learn and a place where you won't be disturbed, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks so much for your kind words Ryan. If we can do anything to help please do reach out in the future.
