The apprenticeship program
At Lloyds Banking Group, data isn’t just numbers on a screen. It’s the fuel for every decision we make, every problem we solve, every idea that takes us forward.
We’re the UK’s biggest digital bank, with 23 million customers logging in, tapping and scrolling every day. And with £3bn a year going into cloud, AI and analytics, we’re serious about data shaping the future.
As a Data apprentice, you’ll learn how to tame big, messy datasets, spot patterns no one else can see, and turn them into insights that make banking smarter, safer and simpler.
Four and a half years. Two apprenticeships. Unlimited potential
This isn’t just one programme - it’s your first step to an amazing career. You’ll begin with a level 4 Applied Data and AI Specialist apprenticeship. Do well, and successfully complete this, and you’ll move on to a degree apprenticeship, deepening your skills while growing your career with us.
Along the way, you’ll dive into:
* SQL and advanced data joins (yes, the fun kind)
* Predictive modelling & forecasting (basically, time travel with stats)
* Statistical programming languages
* Building data products people actually use
By the end, you won’t just know data. You’ll live and breathe data.
The impact you could make
* Spot patterns that stop fraud before it happens
* Help millions of customers make smarter money choices
* Build dashboards that leaders can’t live without
* Make data accessible, ethical and useful for everyone
You’ll master:
* SQL, Python and other stats superpowers
* Visualization that makes people go “ohhh, now I get it”
* Forecasting and modelling
* AI literacy and applied analytics
* Turning complexity into clarity
Support in your corner
We’ll set you up to shine with:
* Blended learning: real projects + classroom theory
* Time carved out just for your development
* A mentor, a manager and a buddy (because no one should debug alone)
* A community that shares your passion and goals
Your future. Fully funded
We’ll cover your salary and fully fund your qualifications, setting you up for success with a level 4 apprenticeship in Applied Data and AI. You’ll gain hands-on experience working with some of the UK’s largest and most complex datasets, develop versatile skills that open doors across analytics and AI, and have the opportunity to progress to a degree apprenticeship—equipping you to grow from a specialist into a strategist.

An additional requirement for the apprenticeship position is that you must currently possess a valid Right to Work in the UK. Your visa end date must extend beyond the duration of the apprenticeship programme, which will last up to 4.5 years.
