Digital media apprenticeships involve training at both college and work. At college, apprentices complete National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) units focused on creative media employment, communication, converging technology, and professional behavior. They also take Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) units in areas like website design and video production. Additional NVQ units are completed at work and cover skills like Photoshop, camera use, and video editing tailored to each apprentice's employer. The combination of college coursework and on-the-job training provides apprentices with hands-on experience in fields like podcasting, videography, design, and web development.
