Baltic Apprenticeships

Workplace learning in digital subjects

Baltic Apprenticeships provides workplace training for people starting or developing careers in digital and technical roles. The organisation says it has delivered training across England since 2007. Its programmes span artificial intelligence, data, IT support, digital marketing, software development and sustainability. The apprenticeship route combines learning with work, so applicants should consider the actual role and employer as well as the course title. Employers can use the provider to recruit an apprentice or to train current team members.

Apprenticeship programmes by level

The site lists Level 3 options in AI enablement, data and business insights, Microsoft IT support and marketing. Level 4 programmes include data analysis, software development, infrastructure and security, AI automation and digital transformation. A Level 5 data engineer programme is also listed. The levels signal different starting skills and responsibilities; course pages should be read for eligibility, duration, required work tasks and assessment arrangements. An applicant looking for a placement can search the vacancies section rather than applying to a course without an employer.

Short courses and certifications

Alongside longer apprenticeships, Baltic offers short accredited courses for specific skills. Examples on the website include Microsoft 365 and Azure fundamentals, Power BI, Excel, Copilot and CompTIA Data+, Network+ and Security+. Some courses are described as taking one to five days. These are useful for targeted upskilling, while an apprenticeship gives more sustained learning in a job. Employers comparing options should identify the problem to solve, the skills staff already have and whether the proposed course includes an exam or only preparation for it.

Support for learners and employers

Baltic has apprenticeship vacancies, learner support, a careers hub and information for businesses on hiring, funding and the apprenticeship levy. Employers can request a consultation about skills needs, while learners can review vacancies and the application process. Funding depends on the employer, programme and current eligibility rules, so availability should be confirmed for a specific case. The contact number is 01325 731 050 and the email address is yourfuture@balticapprenticeships.com. The site publishes programme details and employer success stories for further comparison.
