Have the opportunity to do an apprenticeship through my long term employer. I work with data in my role and perform basic analysis, looking to enhance my skills and employability.

I don't see myself becoming an analyst. But when I look at the specs for each qualification, the level 3 feels fairly entry level - is that right or have people already working in excel who do the course still found it challenging?

Also keen to hear how others have found the off the job learning hours? 6 hours p/w is 20% of my part time working week. I'm trying to gauge if it's doable. Struggling to understand what I'd need to be doing in those learning hours.

Anyone else done this? I currently work in a very specific, data led marketing niche, with lots of stakeholder management.

I think my skills are transferrable. What are the best qualifications or training for a BA in the UK?

Need to say thanks and want to get it delivered to their Deansgate office.

Who's doing good delivery gifts in the city centre? I've tried Pollen but a lot of things are out of stock.

Gift card also an option, if there are any good ideas for where to go for one. Needs to be fairly universally liked as I don't know the recipient particularly well, it's work related.
