Artificial Intelligence and Automation Practitioner Level 4
Artificial Intelligence and Automation Practitioner Level 4 Overview
This AI and Automation Practitioner Apprenticeship Programme provides a comprehensive toolkit for anyone looking to master the practical and ethical implementation of AI within the modern workplace. By moving beyond simple automation, delegates will learn how to identify high-impact opportunities to streamline workflows, use low-code tools to solve real-world problems, and harness data to drive smarter, more confident decision-making. The curriculum places equal value on technical proficiency and the “human side” of innovation, ensuring you can navigate complex GDPR requirements and advocate for systems that enhance, rather than replace, human talent. Learners will gain the professional confidence to champion responsible AI that boosts productivity and delivers superior results for internal and external customers.
Modules covered in the programme:
- The Ethical Frontier: Responsible AI Adoption
- Governance, Law, and GDPR in the AI Age

Maths, English and Functional Skills within the Apprenticeship
All apprentices have the opportunity to develop their English and maths skills as part of their apprenticeship and will need to develop sufficient skills to demonstrate competence in their chosen apprenticeship standard. A 16-18-year-old must complete functional skills qualifications if they do not already hold any qualifications. An individual aged 19 or over who does not hold existing qualifications should, with their employer, decide whether to pursue functional skills; however, these are not mandatory for programme completion.
The End Point Assessment Process
End Point Assessment
The End Point Assessment (EPA) for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation
Practitioner Level 4 typically comprises of three core components:
- Work-Based Project & Presentation: The apprentice delivers a substantial AI or
automation project that solves a genuine business problem. They must produce a detailed
report and present their findings, proving they can identify inefficiencies, implement
technical solutions, and measure commercial impact. - Professional Discussion (Supported by Portfolio): An in-depth interview where the
apprentice demonstrates their competency using a portfolio of evidence gathered throughout
the course. This ensures they can justify their technical choices, manage risks, and align their
work with your organisational values. - Technical Test: A synoptic assessment that confirms a robust understanding of the legalities,
data ethics (GDPR), and technical frameworks required to operate safely in an automated
environment.
