Digital Learning Designer

Level 5

Give your NHS team the skills to design modern, engaging digital training. Helping you deliver learning faster, improve staff engagement, and keep pace with changing healthcare standards.

The NHS must deliver training faster and more effectively, yet many teams can’t keep up. Outdated tech, limited capacity, and digital bottlenecks are common challenges.

The Digital Learning Designer apprenticeship equips staff to transform learning delivery without extra budget.

We’re now enrolling NHS apprentices to start the programme as part of our Digital Learning Designer January cohort together, giving them the chance to build skills side by side and support each other throughout their journey.
