IT Technical Salesperson L3

IfATE are looking to withdraw the IT Technical Salesperson standard and not replace it.

The proposal is to refer providers, employers and apprentices to Sales Executive Level 4.

If you have any feedback on this, please contact IfATE before 9th December (email address on the link here: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/it-technical-salesperson-v1-0).

From the IfATE guidance on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in EPA:

🤖 Where AI has been used as part of the apprentice’s day-to-day work and forms part of a project report, presentation, or artefact, it should be referenced as such within the work
🤖 AI must not be used to produce the report or portfolio

UK phone repair apprenticeship needed, says firm

Did you know it takes around 1,800 litres of water to create a single laptop? Are businesses just paying lip service to the #GreenIT mantra of reuse, reduce, recycle?
