How You’ll Learn: Flexible, Blended & Work-Focused
Our delivery model is designed to fit around full-time employment, combining practical, on-the-job experience with high-quality academic learning.
Blended Learning That Works
Apprentices spend 80% of their time in the workplace and 20% learning with Ada, through a blended approach that mixes in-person learning, virtual sessions, and self-paced study. This ensures you can immediately apply new skills in your day-to-day role while building strong academic foundations.
Launchpad: Hit the Ground Running
Your journey begins with an intensive 5-week, full-time Launchpad training. This immersive experience equips you with essential skills to add value to your employer from day one.
Block Release Structure
Following Launchpad, you’ll follow a block release schedule:
- 4–8 weeks in the workplace
- 1 week back at Ada for focused study
This structure continues throughout the apprenticeship, balancing real-world application with guided learning.
Online Learning for Maximum Flexibility
To support diverse learning styles and busy schedules, the programme also includes:
- Online sessions led by industry experts
- Interactive virtual or in-person classes that encourage collaboration
- A mix of live teaching, self-paced learning, and practical assignments for a complete learning experience
Assessments & Portfolio Development
Progress is tracked through formative assessments, and you’ll build a professional portfolio showcasing your skills, achievements, and real-world impact.
Pathway to a Full Degree
Our Foundation Degree apprenticeships programmes run over two years. On completion, you can continue your journey with a top-up to a full BSc (Hons) in Digital and Technology Solutions in just 14–16 additional months, giving you the flexibility to grow at your own pace.
Fully Funded and Employer-Focused
This programme is eligible for government funding, helping employers reduce training costs. It’s also tailored to meet industry needs, allowing businesses to close skills gaps and build future-ready teams.
