Data Analyst Apprentice Review

I work as a data analyst within a great organisation serving the North West of England, I work in a diverse team, constantly adapting to new problems and situation within Lancashire Network Performance. My day to day can look anything like getting on with in house smaller levels of analysis to larger projects from members of the wider Lancashire team. I use tools like Excel, Tableau and Power Bi, to turn large unreadable datasets into something useful and insightful.

I believe that the programme is particularly well structured and this is due to the amount of self learning and growth required. I am very well suited to this type of training and I enjoy it very much, however I wouldn't say it is organised or structured. Self learning and progression always relies of the student to 'do their part' and unless a learner is going to fully commit to this, this course becomes difficult to follow.

I receive plenty support from my employee from my dedicated mentor/line manager to wider and higher leadership team members. There is always a priority of apprentice work completion over any work contributions and this must come first.

I have had two tutors in my time on this programme and they are very easily reached on communication basis, they also have a vast amount of resources weather that be something that they have seen or something they have created.

I believe my qualification helps me perform better in my role through the skills that it provides me with, both analytical skills but also daily management skills such as time management, calendar optimising, note taking etc.

Yes

I would recommend United Utilities to a friend due to the amount of opportunities there are available here, once you become a part of this business the possibilities are limitless.
