3aaa Apprenticeship
Monday 9th April 2018
All businesses function using IT, there’s no getting away from it!
Whether it’s connecting laptops to a printer, migrating to a cloud-based system rather than an expensive physical server or implementing Office 365 across the business, every business needs someone who can keep their IT working efficiently.
An Apprenticeship designed for SMEs
3aaa have been working with the SME sector across the country for 10 years and in that time, we have seen their use of, and reliance on IT systems change.
Cloud Services
There has been a shift towards cloud-based systems in recent years which reduces the expense of running, maintaining and securing a physical server, which for most SMEs means outsourcing at a considerable cost.
We’ve designed an entire module around using cloud systems for data storage and sharing in a secure and flexible way, giving apprentices the knowledge and confidence to work with all cloud systems.
This module goes much further than simply teaching the principles of cloud systems though. It gives participants perspective by encouraging them to understand how their workplace’s business processes operate and how cloud systems could enhance these processes.
This module also brings with it the option to gain an additional vendor qualification certifying the knowledge and skills each participant has gained. The qualification with this module is Cloud Essentials from CompTIA.
Mobile and Operating Systems
Operating Systems are the software that runs desktop computers and laptops and manage their resources and memory when they’re being used for multi-tasking and mobile OS (operating Systems) do the same function on mobile devices – making their function an essential part of day-to-day business life.
Without correctly maintained operating systems, businesses struggle to function which is why 3aaa have included a module in their apprenticeship that not only teaches the concepts, approaches and techniques of operating systems, but also explains what the wider impact of these could be across a business.
So, having someone on hand who can address problems that occur with your operating systems, whether they are desktop or mobile based, and resolve them with confidence and at speed is a fundamental basic for any business.
This module contains fundamental knowledge for any IT professional and as a result brings with it the option to gain an additional vendor qualification certifying the knowledge and skills each participant has gained. The qualification with this module is awarded by Microsoft.
Networking and Architecture
Networking is an integral part of any business and allows all the different pieces of technology and data within a business to talk to each other. Without the correct network set-up and architecture in place, printers won’t print, WiFi networks won’t work properly and programmes won’t sync data correctly, leading to a lack of version control.
Networking is the fundamental infrastructure businesses need to remain efficient and the third module 3aaa deliver as part of this apprenticeship teaches participants the full range of concepts, approaches and techniques of networking and architecture.
So, whatever your connectivity problem, your IT apprentice will be able to resolve it quickly and keep your business moving.
