Artificial intelligence and automation can help organisations improve productivity, streamline processes and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Level 4 Apprenticeship helps employers develop employees who can identify opportunities for AI and automation, evaluate suitable tools and implement responsible solutions that address genuine workplace challenges.

Because the programme is delivered through work-based learning, employees develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours while continuing in their role. This allows them to analyse existing processes, build AI-enabled and automated solutions, support their implementation and measure their impact in real time.

With stronger AI and automation capability in place, organisations can improve efficiency, reduce manual workloads and introduce new technologies safely, responsibly and effectively.

Investing in this apprenticeship also supports staff development and retention by providing employees with structured professional development, while building the organisation’s internal AI, automation and digital transformation capability.

If you’re already working in a role involving artificial intelligence, automation, digital transformation or process improvement but want to feel more confident using these technologies, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Level 4 Apprenticeship is designed to help you take the next step.

This work-based programme helps you strengthen the practical skills you use in your role. From identifying automation opportunities and evaluating AI tools to building automated workflows and applying prompt engineering techniques, the apprenticeship focuses on using AI to solve genuine workplace challenges.

Because the apprenticeship is completed alongside your job, you can apply what you learn straight away. You will develop AI-enabled and automated solutions, support colleagues through change and measure the impact of improvements within your organisation.

Whether you want to improve your performance in your current role or progress into a more specialised AI, automation or digital transformation position, this apprenticeship helps you develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to implement AI responsibly and effectively.

Our Artificial Intelligence and Automation Practitioner Level 4 Apprenticeship is delivered through flexible work-based learning, allowing learners to develop practical AI and automation skills while continuing in their role.

Training is delivered remotely using Microsoft Teams, with monthly tutor-led sessions introducing each module. After each session, learners complete an assignment that applies their learning to genuine processes, challenges and opportunities within their workplace.

Learners are supported throughout the programme with regular one-to-one tutor support, helping them develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours while building practical AI-enabled and automated solutions.

Every 8–12 weeks, a progress review takes place between the learner, their employer and the tutor. This ensures everyone remains up to date with the learner’s development and how their new AI and automation skills are being applied within the organisation.

Alongside the core modules, learners also complete wider learning topics including:

• Equality and Diversity
• Prevent and British Values
• Safeguarding
• Employee Wellbeing
• Managing Professional Development

Once learning is complete, learners progress through Gateway before undertaking their End Point Assessment (EPA).

Apprenticeships are designed to support organisations in developing their team, with government funding available to help cover the cost of training.

If your organisation pays the Apprenticeship Levy, the cost of the Artificial Intelligence and Automation Practitioner Level 4 can be covered through your levy funds. If you do not pay the levy, the government will fund 95% of the cost, meaning you only pay 5%.

To be eligible, learners must:

• Be currently in employment 
• Have the right to work in the UK 
• Have lived in the UK for the past three years

If you are unsure how funding works, our team can talk you through it and explain what applies to your organisation.
