About this course

The Level 5 Diploma in Data Engineering is designed to equip learners with the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to develop, manage and optimise modern data systems. It prepares individuals for professional roles in data engineering, cloud data infrastructure and data architecture while supporting progression to higher-level digital and data qualifications.

The apprenticeship is designed for individuals whose job role involves working with data systems, platforms, or infrastructure and who want to develop new skills or enhance their competence in data engineering as part of their current responsibilities.

The Level 5 Data Engineering apprenticeship consists of 7 mandatory units including:

  • Data Engineering Architecture and Design
  • Data Pipeline Engineering
