Digital Business Accelerator Additional Software Requirements and Deadlines
Software/ Tool | Details | Implementation notes | Deadline |
Data visualisation tools taught in month 4. If apprentices do not have Windows devices, this is not compatible with PowerBI Desktop, however they can use the Web version as an alternative. | Installation required | Month 4 | |
End Point Assessment (EPA) platform used by 3rd Party EPAO ‘1st for EPA’ to track and manage apprentice EPA results. Multiverse registers apprentices on the platform ~3 months pre-gateway and apprentices are then signposted via email by 1st for EPA to sign up and create an account. | Allowlisting required | Month 6 | |
OPTIONAL: Platform used to teach SQL as an optional skills pathway in the final module on programme. Allowlisting is recommended, but not required. Note: No data will be uploaded to Sphere as we use dummy data in the lesson. They can then apply teachings from here to their own internal SQL database as compliant with internal company data policies. | Allowlisting recommended but not required | Month 12 |
